Abundance estimates for Rough-toothed Dolphins are available for only a relatively small proportion of their range. An estimated 145,900 (coefficient of variation (CV) = 0.32) inhabit the eastern tropical Pacific based on shipboard line-transect surveys undertaken from 1986 to 1990 (Wade and Gerrodette 1993). In the Hawaiian Island Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), a shipboard line-transect survey conducted in 2010 resulted in an abundance estimate of 72,528 (CV = 0.39) Rough-toothed Dolphins (Bradford et al. 2017). Mark-recapture analyses from photo-identification surveys conducted between 2003 and 2006 have resulted in estimates of 1,665 individuals (CV = 0.33) around Kauai/Niihau and 198 (CV = 0.12) around the island of Hawaii (Baird et al. 2008). In the northern Gulf of Mexico, a summer line-transect survey conducted in 2009 from the 200 m isobath to the seaward extent of the U.S. EEZ resulted in an estimate of 624 Rough-toothed Dolphins (CV = 0.99; Garrison 2016). Along the U.S. Atlantic coast, a shipboard survey conducted in June-August 2011 between the lower Bay of Fundy and central Florida resulted in an abundance estimate of 271 (CV = 1.00; Hayes et al. 2017). No other abundance estimates are available. The total of the available estimates is 221,186, but this is certainly less than the actual total abundance because large parts of their range have not been surveyed.
