	CMS: Pontoporia blainvillei, La Plata dolphin
		The sighting of a single individual in Golfo Nuevo, Valdez Peninsula, is considered exceptional and this should not be considered the southern distribution limit for franciscana (Crespo, 2000).
		There were also changes in the least common parasites and variations in the intensity of infection of the acanthocephalan Polymorphus cetaceum, and presumably, in the prevalence of the digenean Hadwenius pontoporiae.

		The von Bertalanffy growth model was applied to franciscana dolphins (Pontoporia blainvillei) incidentally caught in fishing nets on the São Paulo/Paraná coasts (25°00′-25°58′S), and compared with the growth of franciscanas incidentally caught on the Rio Grande do Sul coast (29°-33°S).
		In both locations, a difference was noted between the growth of males and females, confirming the sexual dimorphism of the body proportions of this dolphin.

		La Plata river dolphins, Pontoporia blainvillei (Gervais and d'Orbigny, 1844), (aka "Franciscana") are small cetaceans measuring about 1.8 m and weighing 36-50 kg.
		La Plata river dolphins, Pontoporia blainvillei, are found in shallow coastal waters of Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil from the Valdes Peninsula in Argentina north to the Rio Grande and Sul River near Rio de Janiero.
		La Plata river dolphins, Pontoporia blainvillei, are at-risk of being caught in shark nets and it is estimated that about 1,500 dolphins are killed each year.

		Abstract--The reproductive biology of male franciscanas (Pontoporia blainvillei), based on 121 individuals collected in Rio Grande do Sul State, southern Brazil, was studied.
		It is hypothesized that P. blainvillei form temporary pairs (one male copulating with only one female) during the reproductive period.
		The franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei) is a small dolphin endemic to the coastal waters of the southwestern Atlantic Ocean.

		Notes: The franciscana, Pontoporia blainvillei, is a dolphin that experiences extensive incidental mortality in fisheries throughout its restricted distribution and is perhaps the most exploited species along the Atlantic coast of South America.
		However, the basic information required fur effective conservation of this species is lacking.

		Project Description: The La Plata dolphin, Pontoporia blainvillei, lives in the Atlantic coastal waters of Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina.
		This poorly understood marine mammal, a relative of the much more widely known bottlenose dolphin, appears to be declining within its natural South American range.
		There will also be a conservation medicine component of this work, as Silvia will be evaluating parasite load on tapir and cattle and evaluating the potential for possible parasite transmission between species.

		The La Plata dolphin (Pontoporia blainevillei), the most threatened cetacean species in the South Atlantic Ocean, is not a sought-after delicacy on anyone’s menu.
		In fact, fishermen off the coast of Buenos Aires are trying to keep them OUT of their nets.
		The health of the dolphin population is a barometer of the health of the Buenos Aires coast… and a good example of why we need to understand what human impacts are doing to marine life.”
