“…The species is generally found in turbid coastal waters, but also inhabits clear waters as well as marine areas associated with islands and rocky shores (Pinedo et al 1989, Danilewicz et al 2009. Franciscanas are found mainly in the marine environment and only occasionally in estuaries (Santos et al 2009) and one inland bay (Cremer and Simões-Lopes 2008). They are relatively common in the Uruguayan part of the La Plata River estuary (Praderi 1986).…”

“…Most information on the species comes from stranding and bycatch records (see reviews by Crespo, 2002, and by Bordino et al, 2002). Although sightings have been reported for Argentina (see review in Bordino et al, 2002) and Brazil Di Beneditto et al, 1998;Flores et al, 2000 3 ; Moreno et al, 2003;Santos et al, 2007), it appears that in only three areas it is possible to conduct systematic observation of franciscanas: Bahia Anegada (40°30'S, 62°10'W), Argentina (Bordino et al, 1999;Bordino, 2002), Baía de Babitonga (27°32'S, 48°20'W), southern Brazil (Cremer and Simões-Lopes, 2005) and Baía das Laranjeiras (25°25'S, 48°21'W), also in southern Brazil (Santos et al, 2009). Herein, information is presented on distribution, occurrence, group size and composition of franciscanas in Baía Norte, Santa Catarina State, Brazil, based on six sightings made between 1996 and 2003 during ongoing research on the Guiana dolphin (Sotalia guianensis) and bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) (Flores, 1999;Flores and Bazzalo, 2004;Flores and Fontoura, 2006).…”

“…Nesse local, foram observadas áreas de preferência para forrageamento e socialização (Cremer & Simões Lopes, 2008). Recentemente, grupos de toninhas também têm sido avistados no complexo estuarino de Cananéia-Iguape, ao sul do estado de São Paulo (Santos, 2009).…”
