Age and Sexual Maturity Estimation of Stranded Striped Dolphins, <i>Stenella coeruleoalba</i>, Infected with <i>Brucella ceti</i>

Age and Sexual Maturity Estimation of Stranded Striped Dolphins, <i>Stenella coeruleoalba</i>, Infected with <i>Brucella ceti</i>

Age parameters in cetaceans allow examining conservation and studying individuals with growth affection. The age and sexual maturity of 51 stranded <i>Stenella coeruleoalba</i> striped dolphins from the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP) of Costa Rica, most suffering brucellosis (95.6%), wer...
