The causes for this mortality are still unknown, in spite of continuous, broad and deep-probing necropsies. Programme recommendations: Since the problem with neonate mortality remains, it is recommended to continue a broad approach to the study of reproduction, in order to reveal the critical factors for survival. A large international workshop with emphasis on the reproduction of bottle-nosed dolphins in Europe was held at Parc Asterix, Paris, in October, 2005. This was a follow up of a similar workshop held in San Diego in 1999. All institutions are urged to prioritise breeding. For many years, the management and redistribution of surplus young males has been discussed. The establishment of all male groups is a possible management option. Three such groups exists (Harderwijk - Netherlands, Zoomarine/Albufeira - Portugal, and Münster - Germany) and the establishment and maintenance of these and new such groups should be further studied. The involvement of these males in reproduction can be arranged by means of AI; thereby the group dynamics need not be disturbed by removing or adding males in connection with breeding. Considerable progress has been achieved in the development of AI for odontocetes. Three EEP institutions so far are involved in this work with the bottlenose dolphin: Genova, Zoomarine/Albufeira, Harderwijk, and several other institutions have expressed interest to be involved.

Bottle-nosed dolphin EEP Annual Report 2007 - 2008 The studbook is being converted to SPARKS. It will be ready and presented as a complete studbook for the participants in 2009. So far approximately 2/3 of the bottle-nosed dolphin holders in Europe are members of this EEP (14 EAZA and 7 non-EAZA institutions). It is the clear strategy of this program to involve, if possible and pending approval by the EEP Committee, all holders in the programme in order to secure the long term management of the species.
