Abstract
The striped dolphin, Stenella coeruleoalba, is found in offshore waters throughout the world in warm-temperate and tropical seas. Large numbers are killed yearly in directed fisheries off Japan and they are also incidentally caught in fishing operations around the world. Published and unpublished records from Canadian waters include 11 from western and 17 from eastern Canada. The striped dolphin appears to be at the northern limits of its normal range in Canadian waters, and no serious threats to it exist here. No COSEWIC status designation is required.
