Behaviour, habitat use and population size of Sotalia fluviatilis (Gervais, 1853) (Cetacea, Delphinidae) in the Cananéia estuary region, São Paulo, Brazil

Abstract: From March 1987 to February 1988, Sotalia fluviatilis population size was estimated and behavioral patterns were observed in the Cananéia estuary region, in Southeast Brazil. Field observations were carried out from shore (40, with a mean observation period of 7.76 ± 2.05 hours a day, completing a total of 310.5 hours) and during line transect surveys by boat (55, 10 of them with a mean observation period of 4.44 ± 0.15 hours each and 45 with a mean observation time of 20 minutes, in the totality 64.3 hours). … Show more

“…Within this category, we defined individuals as calves (individuals р ½ of adult length) and juveniles (individuals larger than ½ and smaller than ⅔ of adult length) (GEISE et al 1999), to investigate variation in parental care as a function of the developmental stage of the offspring.…”

“…Consideram-se juvenis animais que medem até 3/4 do cumprimento total do adulto e filhotes medem 1/4 do tamanho do adulto e possuem uma coloração cinzarosada (Geise, Gomes, & Cerqueira, 1999). O filhote geralmente é acompanhado de um animal adulto (Lodi, 2003).…”

“…Entretanto, em algumas áreas, o boto cinza apresentou um repertório comportamental de superfície tão variado e complexo (Geise et al, 1999;Hayes, 1999;Nascimento, 2006) quanto os realizados por outras espécies de golfinhos conhecidos pela plasticidade comportamental, como o golfinho nariz de garrafa (Muller et al, 1998), e o golfinho rotador (Norris & Dohl, 1980). Alguns comportamentos descritos no presente estudo não estão presentes apenas nas populações do boto cinza estudadas, mas também fazem parte do repertório comportamental de outras espécies de botos, golfinhos e baleias, evidenciando que existe uma generalização de alguns comportamentos para a ordem cetácea.…”
