Abstract

The first mass stranding of Risso’s dolphins Grampus griseus on the Peruvian
coast occurred on Pozo de Lizas Beach
(17°42´30.30"S 71°18´48.70"W), port of Ilo, Department of Moquegua, southern
Peru, between 7 and 8 June 2007. At least
14 Risso’s dolphins were stranded along 1.5 km of beach. Just 7 of them
could be sized and 8 sexed; this group was composed
of 7 males and a single female plus a juvenile of undetermined sex. Mean
standard body length of the males was 299.67 cm
(SD: 9.91 cm, range: 292–317 cm) and the female measured 289 cm. The entire
group, including four individuals found alive,
was illegally butchered by the local people to use the meat as food, while
other remains were used as bait in the pelagic longline
fishery. This record fills a distributional gap of about 1000 km in the
known distribution of the species between central
Peru and northern Chile. Additional education is required for improved
conservation strategies in future cetacean strandings.
