Lagenodelphis hosei Fraser, 1956 —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).
