Further Evidence for Breeding White-Beaked Dolphin ( Lagenorhynchus albirostris ) in Inner Danish Waters
The white-beaked dolphin ( Lagenorhynchus albirostris ) is the second most frequently stranded cetacean species along the Danish coastline. The northern North Sea, the Skagerrak, the Kattegat and the Danish straits are part of the species distributional range. Here, we present eight incidents of bre...
