LONG-BEAKED COMMON DOLPHIN AGE, GULF OF CALIFORNIA Estimating age in D. capensis was done with the method described by Hohn (1980) modified as follows. Teeth were prepared and half-etched; they were grinded and polished with sandpaper (grit 220-600) until pulp cavity became fully exposed at midlongitudinal cut. Teeth were demineralized in 5 % formic acid for 1-2 hours, which is the necessary time for the teeth to acquire a rubbery consistence; times longer than two hours may cause the destruction of the teeth by the acid; to avoid this, demineralization was monitored with acetone to buffer the reaction. Teeth were rinsed in distilled water and allowed to dry. Acid-etching reveals dentinal teeth layering pattern as valleys and ridges (Hohn 1980; Pierce and Kajimura 1980). These layers form groups called Growth Layer Groups (GLGs; Perrin and Myrick 1980). Due to GLGs small size (tooth = 3-4 mm; 0.3 - 0.4 g), teeth were adhered to a microscope slide to observe them. GLGs were counted and photographed using a Fisher Stereomaster II Microscope (30-60x magnification). Four different readers (with no experience in reading GLGs, including two of the authors) assisted to obtain the age estimate for each dolphin (each tooth was read four times by the same person, thus 164 readings for each person were done for the whole set, totaling 656 readings. Readings were inconsistent at the beginning, but at the end of GLGs counts, estimated ages were accepted by consensus). The following guidelines were used for estimating age: A GLG consists of one valley and one prominent ridge. Accessory layers found within each GLG appear as less prominent ridges. The pulp cavity size gets smaller as the individual gets older and subsequent GLGs get thinner; thus, it becomes more difficult to age older animals (Hohn 1990). Growth layer deposition in common dolphins (D. delphis) occurs annually (Gurevich et al. 1980; Hohn 1990) therefore we assumed that in long-beaked common dolphin D. capensis, one GLG also will be formed each year. Dolphin age categories were defined as follows: nursing calves (recently born to 18 months or 1.5 years), juveniles (2–7 years, according to Reddy et al. (1991) for T. truncatus), subadults (7–12 years of age, according to Perrin and Reilly (1984) for D. delphis), and adults (12 years of age or more). Individuals which their body standard length was measured and their skull was collected by Vidal and Gallo-Reynoso (1996, 2012) in the mass stranding of January 1995, were used to estimate age categories for this study; these specimens were categorized as a new born male calf (ITESM-CIAD-950225), a juvenile female (ITESM-CIAD-950128-4), a subadult male (ITESM-CIAD-950331-3), an adult female (ITESM-CIAD-950331-2), and an adult male (ITESM-CIAD-950331-1). Other individuals on the sample have documented measurements in the field and were available on the collection vouchers; therefore we used that data to establish a regression between age and standard length. To investigate the age-length relationship on this species a regression between age and standard length was performed. Of the 41 dolphins, only 15 individuals were measured and sexed in the field (6 calves, 6 subadults and 3 adults) and able to be used in the age-length relationship; the other dolphins on the sample (n = 26) were collected as carcasses on the beach and were not used for this age-length relationship. Cause of death was determined by the markings on the stranded dolphin bodies and registered on the collection vouchers. 452 THERYA Vol.5(2): 449-460
Gallo-Reynoso, Francisco y Ortiz Results Delphinus capensis age. Breakdown of age category estimates were: 17 individuals, 41.5 %, correspond to adults (12-21 GLGs); 10 individuals, 24.4 %, were subadults (7- 12 GLGs); 10 individuals, 24.4 %, were juveniles (2-7 GLGs); and 4 individuals, 9.7 %, were nursing calves (
