According to existing studies, the waters around Hainan Island, China, were not considered to be part of the humpback dolphins' distribution. Results: In 2014, for the first time, we recorded humpback dolphins in waters southwest of Hainan Island. Conclusions: This record expands the known southern distribution range of this dolphin in Chinese waters by more than 300 km. © 2016 The Author(s). | Source Title: | Marine Biodiversity Records | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/179971 | ISSN: | 17552672 | DOI: | 10.1186/s41200-016-0005-x | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
