남방큰돌고래(Tursiops aduncus)는 클릭음을 사용하는 이빨고래로써 국외에서 지속적인 연구가 수행되어 왔다. 그러나 남방큰돌고래의 클릭음에 대한 연구는 대부분 사육중인 개체에 대해 이루어졌으며 국내에서는 휘슬음에 관한 연구만 수행되었다. 본 논문에서는 제주 연안에 서식하는 야생개체의 남방큰돌고래 클릭음에 대한 음향특성을 분석하였다. 음향특성을 분석하기 위해 음향 파라미터인 신호 길이, 첫 번째 피크 주파수, 두 번째 피크 주파수, 3 dB 대역폭 및 10 dB 대역폭을 산출하였으며 호주 서식 종의 클릭음 음향특성과 비교하였다. 결과적으로, 신호 길이는 평균 $38{\mu}s$를 나타냈고 대부분의 클릭음이 $20{\mu}s-60{\mu}s$ 범위 내에 속하였다. 2종류의 대역폭의 경우 협대역과 광대역의 주파수 특성 모두 나타냈으며, 첫 번째 피크 주파수(평균 $96kHz{\pm}18kHz$)와 두 번째 피크 주파수(평균 $69kHz{\pm}19kHz$)를 통해 바이모달 신호 특성을 확인하였다.

The Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin Tursiops aduncus commonly inhabits the coastal waters of Jeju Island, Korea. An investigation was conducted using data from vessel sightings and point sightings from land. During 40 days of vessel sighting surveys between 2007 and 2010, a total of 18 dolphin groups were encountered. The overall sighting rate was 0.01 group/n.m. Most Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins were sighted within 500 m of the northern coast of Jeju Island during surveys. Also, dolphin groups were observed 47 times during 109 days of shore-based surveys conducted between 2011 and 2015. The results of a dolphin distribution survey conducted in 2011 were generally similar to the results of previous surveys. However, there were no dolphin sightings from 2012 in Hanllim-eup, in the north-western part of the island, where dolphins were sighted frequently until 2011, whereas dolphin observations increased in the southern part of the island. The mean group size was 35.4 (SD=18.08) individuals. The most frequently sighted group size was 36-40 individuals. To conserve resident dolphins off Jeju Island, long term sighting surveys and environmental assessment are required to monitor their distribution patterns.

The Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins Tursiops aduncus are the only cetacean species that can be observed visually on coastal areas of Jeju Island and regarded as one of valuable tour resources. We attempted to figure out location and timing information of the dolphin sightings collected from two major social media, Naver $Caf{\acute{e}}$ and Instagram. 142 of dolphin sighting information were derived from 2,501 dolphin related postings on Naver $Caf{\acute{e}}$ between 2004 to 2017. 292 informative postings also were found on Instagram through hashtag searching. The number of posts about dolphin sighting was not frequent until 2014. Since 13 posts were found in 2014, dramatic increase of the sighting numbers was accelerated as 38 in 2015, 93 in 2016 and 269 in 2017. 195 (45.7%) from coastal area of Daejeong-eup, south-western part of the Island, were posted. The number of dolphin sightings also high from Gujwa-eup(n=50, 11.7%), Hangyeong-myeon (n=49, 11.5%), Seongsan-eup (n=38, 8.9%) and Seogwipo-si (n=34, 8.0%). Our results show that social media data has a high potential to be used as a data source for study of distribution pattern of the dolphins.
