Dusky dolphin  (Lagenorhynchus obscurus)

The dusky dolphin is classified as Data Deficient (DD) on the IUCN Red List 2004 (1), and is listed on Appendix II of CITES (4). All cetaceans (whales and dolphins) are listed on Annex A of EU Council Regulation 338/97; they are therefore treated by the EU as if they are included in CITES Appendix I, so that commercial trade is prohibited.
