Abstract

A recent study reported a fractional increase in the population of Irrawaddy dolphins in Orissa's Chilika lake. The dolphin population in Chilika in Khurda district had gone up from 131 last year to 135 this year, said a February 2007 report by the Chilika Development Authority (cda), a government body. In spite of this, the government as well as environmentalists are worried about frequent reports of dolphin casualties in the lagoon due to the increasing biotic pressure on the lake.
