Concerns over Dolphin Pox in the Gippsland Lakes
Analysis of the 2,000 images from our research team's Photo-ID survey of the Gippsland Lakes in July 2009 is showing dolphins with some skin lesions, generally small blister-like sores only milimetres across. We suspect dolphin pox and will keep you posted as we learn more.
We are very concerned because the end of 2007 one-third of the animals in the Lakes were infected, some with ugly secondary infections. Consequently, we are planning another survey by November this year.
