Dolphin, Graph, LogoThe ETP Cetacean Assessment Program carries out research to assess the status of dolphin populations affected by the purse-seine fishery for yellowfin tuna in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (the “tuna-dolphin issue”). Using data gathered on research cruises, we estimate abundance and use population models The previous link is a link to non-Federal government web site.
