(2001) First report on sightings of a white blue whale. Page 41 in Abstracts, XIV Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals, 28 November 03 December, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Mammalian color is almost entirely dependent on presence (or absence) of the pigment melanin in the skin, hair, and eyes. Hypo-pigmented (anomalously white) individuals are often presumed to be true albinos; however, pigmentation patterns should not be the only criterion (Fertl and Rosel, 2002). Anomalously white individuals have been reported for a number of cetacean and pinniped species (Fertl and Rosel, 2002); Fertl et al. (1999) reviewed the infrequent occurrence of this aberrant pigmentation for 20 cetacean species. Additional records have since become available, including the first for the blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) (Chandler et al., 20017) and details of an all-white humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) still living in Australian waters (Forestell et al., 2001). We present the first known account for an allwhite pantropical spotted dolphin (Stenella attenuata graffmani), off the Pacific coast of Panama, as well as a subsequent record for Gulf of Mexico common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus).

An update on anomalously white cetaceans, including the first account for the pantropical spotted dolphin (Stenella attenuata graffmani)
