Extract from Reeves et al. (2003, p. 40): "This tropical oceanic species is poorly known but reasonably abundant (Jefferson and Leatherwood 1994). Schools of thousands are sometimes observed, and there are estimated to be more than 250,000 in the eastern tropical Pacific (Wade and Gerrodette 1993). Fraser’s Dolphins have been, and probably continue to be, hunted at least opportunistically in Japan, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Lesser Antilles, and Indonesia. There is little information on population size or abundance (outside the eastern tropical Pacific)."
