Description A spinner dolphin, Stenella longirostris , locally
called ‘handi meenu’ was noticed in dead condition
floating near the marine cage farm of CMFRI, Karwar,
approximately 600 m away, from sea shore of
Aligadda village in the evening hours on 31st August
2012. The specimen was an adult female of 175 cm
total length and 55 kg weight. The animal had a small
injury near its left eye probably as a result of getting
entangled in fishing nets or got injured in purse-seine
operation which resulted in its death.
