摘要
Monthly field surveys were conducted between August 2010 and July 2015 to explore seasonal group characteristics and occurrence patterns of Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins(Sousa chinensis) in Xiamen Bay,China.Dolphins formed larger groups in winter and spring(dry seasons)than in summer and autumn(wet seasons)(U = 1564.00,P < 0.001).Sighting encounter rates were higher during the wet season than during the dry season(U = 181.00,P < 0.001),while individual encounter rates were not significantly different between seasons(F = 0.494,d.f.= 3,P= 0.688).Dolphin sightings and the foraging events were mainly found in inner harbours(Western Harbour and Tongan Bay) during the dry seasons,and in peripheral areas(Jiulong River Estuary,Wuyu,and Dadeng-Xiaodeng) during the wet seasons.Seasonal occurrence patterns may be associated with the seasonal prey shifts between these different environments.
