Not all spotted dolphins are, as the once sparse population of Atlantic spotted dolphin in the Bahamas of only 80 has boomed to 200, making the total population around 100,000.
However, the Pantropical spotted dolphin population (in eastern Pacific Ocean) has dwindled to endangered levels as many have died due to being caught in special tuna nets.
Recently and thankfully, they have revamped the net making to correct this fatal error.

Why are the Baiji Dolphins being killed?
AnswerReasons why the Baiji Dolphins are being killed:The Yangtze river Dolphin is the most endangered species on the planet and almost extinct.Unsustainable fishing and mass shipping. China industrialised and transformed the Yangtze into a crowded artery of mass shipping, fishing and power generation.Indiscriminate and illegal fishing practices. The Chinese would use large nets, then hit long pipes to confuse the Dolphins radar and gaff them into their boats. Dolphins are extremely human like in thought and useful not only to the American Navy, but to children with disabilities yet China did not see these Dolphins as much importance (having stripped it of its sacred status in Chinese culture during Mao's Great Leap Forward) until the 70's.Pollution and degradation of its habitat.Low employment in the 1980s - 1990s caused a rise in unskilled fishing.The Chinese government worked with scientists and many others trying to save the Dolphins but it was probably too late, and the last confirmed sighting was in 2004.
