—Fraser’s Dolphin
Lagenodelphis
hosei
Fraser, 1956 p. 496
;
Type
locality-
Mouth of Lutong River
,
Borneo
.
Range:
Although
L. hosei
has a worldwide distribution in tropical pelagic waters, the first record in
Korea
was 2006 (
Kim
et al
. 2013
). One stranded Fraser’s dolphin (adult female) was found on the beach in
Jeju
Island (
Kim
et al
. 2013
;
Fig. 99
).
Remarks:
Despite its worldwide distribution,
L. hosei
is very rare around Korean waters. Even in
Japan
, only four records of Fraser’s dolphin were confirmed (
Amano 2009c
).
