| 摘要 | Cetacean strandings provide critical insights into the health of marine ecosystems and are indicative of both
natural and anthropogenic stressors. Leveraging an 1884-stranding-event, 2225 -individual dataset spanning 24
years across Taiwan’s main and outlying islands, we quantified long-term spatiotemporal trends and their drivers
around Taiwan which is a strategic node with complex boundary-current environment in the Western Pacific.
The aim was to uncover the factors driving a significant rise in strandings over the past decade, with a particular
focus on species-specific vulnerabilities, spatial distribution, and seasonal trends. The increase in strandings since
2015 reflects a complex interplay of environmental and anthropogenic factors. Environmental events such as the
2015–2016 El Ni˜no and marine heatwaves disrupted ocean conditions and impacted cetacean habitats, potentially
contributed to the overall increase. Concurrently, bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus and T. aduncus)
and finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides and N. asiaeorientalis) exhibited significant increases in
strandings, pointing to potential fishery interactions across the Taiwan Strait. Furthermore, species such as Kogia
spp. and pygmy killer whale (Feresa attenuata) exhibited fluctuating stranding patterns likely driven by episodic
human activities, while increased disease-related strandings of Fraser’s dolphin (Lagendelphis hosei) and spinner
dolphin (Stenella longirostris) underscored growing environmental pressures. These findings indicate a persistent
yet escalating threat landscape, driven by the interplay of climate-induced habitat disruption and seasonal
fishery interactions. This study highlights the urgent need for continued monitoring and targeted management
interventions to mitigate risks to cetaceans in the Taiwanese waters which provide complex and dynamic habitats
for cetaceans, particularly in the face of growing human disruptions on marine ecosystems. |
