Description 2281-2288
The mammal washed ashore at Vadrevu port, Guntur
district, Andhra Pradesh, south east coast of India was identified as Indo
pacific male finless porpoise Neophocaena
phocaenoides from their Morphometric characters - Dorsal and ventral
measurements of the animal. This species was found to be the first record from
Andhra Pradesh coastline, south east coast of India.  Exact number of extant Phocoenids around India
is still debated and the lack of adequate field keys has resulted in
misidentification of several species of marine mammals. As a part of this
study, diagnosis of the animal has been briefly described and tabulated.  Literatures known and reports till date about
this cetacean particularly in the current work has been derived from incidental
data like stranding records and fisheries bycatch informations to make it more
reliable for future research and conservation requirements.
