dolphin Stenella coeruleoalba (Meyen,
1833), 185 cm in length (TL), was found dead across the shores of the Mersin
Naval Museum, Mersin on the northeastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Striped dolphins may accidentally enter the fishing
nets, which may be one of the reasons for their death. Although this species
has been classified as Vulnerable in the IUCN list, considering the frequency
of deaths among this species, the necessity to develop species conservation strategies
for the Mediterranean was once again proven by the death of this individual.   </p>}, number={2}, publisher={ABADER (Adıyaman Bilimsel Araştırmalar Derneği)}, organization={Mersin University}
