Franciscana Dolphins Tracking Day #32

The animals remain in Bahia San Blas, with Kure and Tunken remaining in a very tight pair, and the other two seemingly less tight. Dive patterns among the three dolphins with TDRs (Kure, Tunken, Nahuel) are very consistent. Based on preliminary analyses of more than 80,000 dive records, common dives are to 5-15 meters, and last 60-90 seconds. Rarely, dives appear to have lasted 4-5 minutes or more. Maximum dive depths reach the bottom in the deepest waters of the area, 30-35 meters.
