REPORT OF A STRIPED DOLPHIN, Stenella coeruleoalba (Meyen, 1833) DEATH CAUSED BY GHOST FISHING IN SOUTH WEST COAST OF INDIA | UTTAR PRADESH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY
The Coastal Police Patrol discovered a male striped dolphin caught in a discarded fishing net off Tangassery, Coast, Kollam, Kerala, India (8°52′55′′N76°34′26′′E) and later identified it as Stenella coeruleoalba.
