Some species are monogamous, others polygamous.
The answer is actually one dolphin or monogamous, meaning they have one mate for the rest of their natural lives. They are actually more intelligent that we are, but very much like us in the sense that they are the only other species in the world that enjoy sex for activity and that they are one of the few species that inhibit signs of jealousy and treachery... not to say that dolphins are bad people.
Polygamy is like mating without a solid partnership or taking many spouses. Apes would be polygamous, meaning that they would mate with every female in the tribe, though take no partner. In some middle eastern countries, men would take more than one wife.

∙ 11y agoRecent information concludes that although dolphins mate for life they do not mate with the same mate for life. Calves stay with the mother dolphin but fathers do not. Dolphins have sex for pleasure not just to bring forth life. Mating for life with several partners is not the same as having the same mate for life which they do not. I recently saw video evidence of this. Often two males will entice a female to 'run' with them and the female has sex with both males many times one then the other. Dolphins love to mate but they don't mate for love.
