Abstract
Information on small cetacean mortality in Peruvian fisheries is reviewed for 1990-1993 period, after the national ban on cetacean exploitation. The ban was found not to be enforced or at best only partially so. Principal species affected included Lagenorhynchus obscurus, Delphinus capensis, Phocoena spinipinnis and Tursiops truncatus. -from Authors
