Note(s): This report describes for the first time the pathologic findings associated with mortality in 17 Atlantic bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) which stranded in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), Florida, between February 2001-July 2002. The cause of death could he determined in most necropsy cases, which demonstrates the importance of performing gross and microscopic necropsy examinations on freshly stranded marine mammals.
