Twenty years in the making by a distinguished dolphin expert and his associates, The Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin is the first comprehensive scientific natural history of a dolphin species ever written. From their research camp at Kealakeakua Bay in Hawaii, these scientists followed a population of wild spinner dolphins by radiotracking their movements and, with the use of a windowed underwater vessel, observing the details of their underwater social life. The authors begin with a description of the spinner dolphin species, its morphology and systematics, and then examine the ocean environment, the organization of dolphin populations, and the way this school-based society of mammals uses shorelines for rest and instruction of the young. The dolphins' reproductive cycle, their vision, vocalization, hearing, breathing, and feeding, and the integration of the school are carefully analyzed. The authors conclude with a comprehensive evolutionary analysis of this marine cultural system, with its behavioral flexibility and high levels of cooperation. This absorbing book is the richest source available of new scientific insights about the lives of wild dophins and how their societies evolved at sea.

The Hawaiian spinner dolphin, Stenella longirostris, was recorded from Kure Atoll to the island of Hawaii. It enters atoll lagoons or specific coves or swims over shallow sandy areas, usually near deep water, to rest. Access to nighttime feeding grounds may regulate the location of these rest areas. Rest areas are generally 50 m or less in depth. Natural scars and marks allowed study of movements and school structure. Schools are fluid assemblages of variable size and composition. Only small subgroups within schools may have long term integrity. Spinner dolphin exhibit several aerial patterns, including spinning which is mostly associated with sound production upon reentry, and each is typical of a specific school activity level. Sounds may serve as omndirectional sound sources maintaining school cohesion beyond the limits of vision. The daily cycle of spinner dolphins consists of nighttime feeding, morning approach to shore, morning - midday rest, and travel to feeding grounds near dusk. Feeding is upon scattering layer fishes, squid and shrimp. Dolphins very commonly show scars from large sharks and from the small shark Isistius, which scoops disc-shaped pieces of blubber from them. These wounds heal to form dollar-shaped scars. (Author).
