Özet

In this study, we argue that all the dolphinariums should be controlled regularly by certain state, civil societies or universities. Individual specific controlling systems should be developed, in order to prevent possible contraband catching in Turkey. If the animals in captivity could track individually, their life stories can be followed and this will give us chance to display their welfare. New regulations on standards may prevent to open new poor facilities which endanger the captive animal's health. © Biharean Biologist, Oradea, Romania, 2012.
