Growth of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) from the Indian River Lagoon System, Florida, USA
Gompertz growth models were fitted to total lengths and ages from tooth sections of 199 stranded bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) from the Indian River Lagoon system, eastern Florida. Based on the model, dolphins from this population are estimated to be born at 119 cm and reach asymptotic le...
