Lagenodelphis hosei Fraser, 1956 View in CoL View at ENA —Fraser’s Dolphin

Lagenodelphis hosei Fraser, 1956 p. 496 View in CoL ; 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 View FIGURE 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).
