	Chilean Dolphin, Cephalorhynchus eutropia at MarineBio.org
		Chilean dolphins, Cephalorhynchus eutropia, are caught as bait for long-line swordfishing and crab fisheries.
		Hunting Chilean dolphins is now illegal, however independent fishermen continue to use this species for bait as their remote locations make it difficult to enforce the laws.
		Chilean dolphins are also at risk of becoming bycatch, particularly in the northern range of their habitat where gill net fisheries are present.

		Whilst all dolphins swim slowly at times those coastal dolphins which tend to feed on slower moving prey are rarely able to swim at high speeds.
		Spotted dolphins are difficult to describe because their size and coloring vary according to their geographic location, but most animals can be identified by their distinctive spotting and extremely active behaviour.
		The color of the bottlenose dolphin varies, but generally this dolphin is light grey to slate grey on the upper part of the body at the top near the dorsal fin, shading to very light grey and almost white, pinkish grey on the belly.

		Dolphins are considered to be amongst the most intelligent of animals and their often friendly appearance and seemingly playful attitude have made them popular in human culture.
		Dolphins are one of the few animals other than humans known to mate for reasons other than reproduction and especially male Bottlenose Dolphins are known to engage in sexual acts with other dolphin species, which is not always consensual, though the Bottlenose may also be submissive in such encounters.
		Dolphins will also kill porpoises for reasons which are not fully understood, as porpoises generally do not share the same fish diet as dolphins and are therefore not competitors for food supplies.

		The Chilean Dolphin (Cephalorhynchus eutropia), also known as the Black Dolphin (although this name has fallen out of favour in scientific circles), is one of four dolphins in the Cephalorhynchus genus.
		The population of the Chilean Dolphin, perhaps one of the least studied of all cetaceans, is not known with certainty.
		The dolphin is seen over a wider interval of latitudes than other Cephalorhynchus species - from ValparaÃso at 33Â° S to Cape Horn at 55Â° S. The species appears to prefer areas of shallow water (less than 200 m depth) and in particular enjoys fast-flowing tidal areas and mouths of rivers.

	Dolphins Difference Between Dolphins and Porpoises Dolphins Porpoises Differences
		Dolphins are among the smallest of cetaceans - whales, dolphins and porpoises.
		Systematists have long disagreed on the classification of the ocean dolphin family, Delphinidae, but current thinking is that there are six subfamilies with a worldwide coverage from tropical waters to the sub polar regions and from shallow coastal regions to the deepest part of the oceans.
		The difference between dolphins and porpoises is clear in that members of this family have small flippers, lack the prominent beak associated with many dolphins and have a more triangular dorsal fin rather than falcate.

	CMS: Cephalorhynchus eutropia, Chilean dolphin
		Chilean dolphins occur in coastal waters of southern South America from Valparaiso, Chile (33°S), south to Isla Navarino, Beagle Channel, and Cape Horn, Argentina (55° 15'S; Rice, 1998).
		Chilean dolphins represented 16% of the cetacean sightings, captures, and strandings in an 8-year study between Coquimbo (30°S) and Tome (36°37'S).
		It has been estimated for the 1980's that two Chilean dolphins could be taken per week per boat, and that as many as 1300-1500 dolphins are harpooned per year in the area near the western Strait of Magellan.
