Tursiops truncatus ( Montagu, 1821) View in CoL View at ENA —Common Bottlenose Dolphin

Delphinus truncatus Montagu, 1821 p.75 View in CoL ; Type locality- England, UK.

Tursiops gillii Dall, 1873 p.13 View in CoL ; Type locality- Monterey , California, US.

Tursiops nuuanu Andrews View in CoL , 191b 1 p. 233; Type locality- Pacific (12°N, 120°W)

T. truncates: Kuroda, 1938 p.17 ; Kim et al., 2000 p.100; Kim, 2004 p.245.

Range: Tursiops truncatus inhabits waters near the Korean Peninsula and has no overlap with the range of T. aduncus in the waters off Jeju Island ( Kim 2004; Fig. 102 View FIGURE 102 ).

Remarks: The Genus Tursiops has a controversial taxonomy. Several previously described species of bottlenose dolphins had wide distributions and variations in morphological characteristics. Tursiops truncates , a widespread species, was comprised of both near shore and offshore forms ( Hoelzel 1998; Rice 1998). It belongs to a complex of several species with substantial genetic differences, even among neighboring populations, such as offshore and coastal forms in the North Atlantic Ocean ( Hammond et al. 2012).
