Abstrakt: The article highlights the research on the survival rates of bottlenose dolphins using the capture-recapture photo-identification dataset in Doubtful Sound, New Zealand. The research shows that tourism and habitat modification has influenced the declining population of the species. Moreover, the projections of the age-structured stochastic population model indicates that the level of calf survival is unstable.
