Abstract:
Tagging attempts of Heaviside’s dolphins (Cephalorhynchus
heavisidii ) using a remotely-deployed
suction-cup tag were performed in Table Bay and St
Helena Bay on the southwest coast of South Africa.
The observed reactions of dolphins indicate that this
tagging approach has negligible impacts on the
dolphin behaviour and Heaviside’s dolphins might
be tagged with suction cup tags without adverse
affects.
