Tursiops truncatus (Montagu, 1821) —Common Bottlenose Dolphin Delphinus truncatus Montagu, 1821 p.75; Type locality- England, UK. Tursiops gillii Dall, 1873 p.13; Type locality- Monterey, California, US. Tursiops nuuanu Andrews, 191b 1 p. 233; Type locality- Pacific (12°N, 120°W) T. truncates: Kuroda, 1938 p.17; Kim et al., 2000 p.100; Kim, 2004 p.245. Range: Tursiops truncatus inhabits waters near the Korean Peninsula and has no overlap with the range of T. aduncus in the waters off Jeju Island (Kim 2004; Fig. 102). Remarks: The Genus Tursiops has a controversial taxonomy. Several previously described species of bottlenose dolphins had wide distributions and variations in morphological characteristics. Tursiops truncates, a widespread species, was comprised of both near shore and offshore forms (Hoelzel 1998; Rice 1998). It belongs to a complex of several species with substantial genetic differences, even among neighboring populations, such as offshore and coastal forms in the North Atlantic Ocean (Hammond ... : Published as part of Jo, Yeong-Seok, Baccus, John T. & Koprowski, John L., 2018, Mammals of Korea: a review of their taxonomy, distribution and conservation status, pp. 1-216 in Zootaxa 4522 (1) on page 150, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4522.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/2610198 ...
