The National Marine Fisheries Service wishes to advise you of the
availability, on the Internet, of research results from the
International Dolphin Conservation Program survey of dolphins in the
Eastern Tropical Pacific conducted by its Southwest Fisheries Science
Center. The information is presented on the following website:
http://swfsc.ucsd.edu/IDCPA/IDCPAfront.html.
New information made available for the first time is included in
the document, "Preliminary estimates of 1998 abundance of four dolphin
stocks in the eastern tropical Pacific" by Tim Gerrodette. Previously
published information is also presented, including research vessel
estimates of absolute abundance for 1979-1990, tuna vessel observer
data (TVOD) estimates of annual mortality, and indices of relative
abundance (produced by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission)
for various years up to 1997. These previously published estimates
are presented along with the new estimates to make available all the
abundance and mortality estimates used in the Initial Finding required
by the International Dolphin Conservation Program Act.
