Alternative Title
Reportes de muertes de delfines mulares en el Refugio de Vida Silvestre Lanzanillo- Pajonal-Fragoso, Cuba.
Abstract
Dolphins are among the most charismatic and peculiar organisms that inhabit marine coastal ecosystems. Their populations have been affected in recent decades by commercial exploitation, nature tourism, poaching and the use of nonspecific fishing gear with the subsequent bycatch; being the last two, causing multiple deaths in the natural populations of these organisms. The objective of this study is to alert the scientific community and resident populations about the behavior of deaths and stranding of dolphins Tursiops truncatus in locations of the Lanzanillo-Pajonal-Fragoso Wildlife Refuge, Cuba. Cadaver samples were collected between years 2005- 2017. The dead bodies were classified according to the decomposi- tion period in fresh, decomposed, or dry bones. Data were collected about the probable cause of death and the location of the stranding. The year with the highest number of dead bodies found (four) was 2007, followed by the years 2005 and 2014, each with three bodies. The locality that reported the highest number of dead bodies was Bahía de Nazabal (eight), in accordance with the high productivity and fishing effort that it presents. A total of 15 dead bodies were found in the studied period, of these it was determined that five individuals were slaughtered for consumption, eight were accidentally entanglement in fishing nets and for two specimens it was not possible to determine the cause of death. The results obtained in this work contribute directly to the management and conservation of the natural populations of dolphins, as well as to the implementation of programs that involve the community.
Los delfines se encuentran entre los organismos más carismáticos y peculiares que habitan los ecosistemas marino-costeros. Sus poblaciones se han visto afectadas en las últimas décadas por la explotación comercial, el turismo de na- turaleza, la caza furtiva y el uso de artes de pesca inespecíficos que propician las capturas incidentales; siendo los dos últimos, causantes de múltiples muertes en las poblaciones naturales de estos organismos. El objetivo de este estudio es alertar a la comunidad científica y las poblaciones locales sobre el comportamien- to de las muertes y varamientos del delfín mu- lar Tursiops truncatus en áreas del Refugio de Vida Silvestre Lanzanillo-Pajonal-Fragoso, Cuba. Los reportes de cadáveres fueron tomados entre los años 2005-2017. Los cadáveres se clasificaron de acuerdo con el período de descomposición en cadáver fresco, descompuesto, y hueso seco. Se compilaron datos sobre la causa probable de muerte y la ubicación de los varamientos. El año con el mayor número de cadáveres encontrados (cuatro) fue 2007, segui- do de los años 2005 y 2014, cada uno con tres cadáveres. La localidad que reportó el mayor número de cadáveres fue Bahía de Nazabal (ocho), de acuerdo con la alta productividad y el esfuerzo de pesca que presenta. Un total de 15 cadáveres se encontraron en el período de estudio, de los cuales se determinó que cinco individuos fueron sacrificados para el consumo, ocho fueron atrapados accidentalmente en hamacas y para dos especímenes no fue posible determinar la causa de la muerte. Los resultados obtenidos en este trabajo contribuyen directamente al manejo y conservación de las poblaciones naturales de delfines, así como a la implementación de programas que involucran a la comunidad.
