Injury and Subsequent Healing of a Propeller Strike Injury to a Heaviside's Dolphin (Cephalorhynchus heavisidii).

The article examines the wounds and injuries as well as the subsequent healing of a propeller strike injury to a heaviside's dolphin (cephalorhynchus heavisidii). It says that the healing rates of dolphins vary with the severity of the injury. It adds that the scars resulting from deep wounds and mutilations along the edges of dorsal fins provide a useful set of marks which can be used to distinguish individuals. Moreover, the photographic capture-recapture techniques are also discussed.
