Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce the following paper recently published in Marine 
Biodiversity Records.

First record of a white rough-toothed dolphin (Steno bredanensis) off West 
Africa including notes on rough-toothed dolphin surface behaviour
M.N. de Boer
Vol. 3, 1-4.

Abstract
In June 2009, a white rough-toothed dolphin (Steno bredanensis) calf was 
photographed in a group of at least 50 dolphins in the southern Gulf of Guinea, 
95 nautical miles off the Gabon coast (01845′S 007829′E), West Africa. Reports 
of unusually pigmented cetaceans are infrequent and this record represents the 
first of an all-white rough-toothed dolphin. Furthermore, there is little 
documentation concerning rough-toothed dolphins and this note contributes to 
the knowledge of this species in tropical West African waters.
