A freshwater dolphin found only in China is now "likely to be extinct", a team of scientists has concluded.

The researchers failed to spot any Yangtze river dolphins, also known as baijis, during an extensive six-week survey of the mammals' habitat.

The team, writing in the Royal Society Biology Letters journals, blamed unregulated fishing as the main reason behind the dolphins' demise.

But the WWF campaign group said the research was not conclusive.

"WWF does not think that the baiji dolphin can be declared extinct or 'effectively extinct' because the search was conducted within a short period of time over a limited area of the river," said a spokesman.

He said a species cannot be formally classed as extinct until no animal has been found in the wild for 50 years - but the last report of a wild baiji dolphin was verified in 2004.

The World Conservation Union's Red List of Threaten Species currently classifies the creature as "critically endangered".

We have yet to take full responsibility in our role as guardians of the planet
Dr Sam Turvey,
Zoological Society of London

Sam Turvey of the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), one of the paper's co-authors, described the findings as a "shocking tragedy".

"The Yangtze river dolphin was a remarkable mammal that separated from all other species over 20 million years ago," Dr Turvey explained.

"This extinction represents the disappearance of a complete branch of the evolutionary tree of life and emphasises that we have yet to take full responsibility in our role as guardians of the planet."

If confirmed, it would be the first extinction of a large vertebrate for over 50 years.

'Incidental impact'

The species (Lipotes vexillifer) was the only remaining member of the Lipotidae, an ancient mammal family that is understood to have separated from other marine mammals, including whales, dolphins and porpoises, about 40-20 million years ago.

The white, freshwater dolphin had a long, narrow beak and low dorsal fin; lived in groups of three or four and fed on fish.

The team carried out six-week visual and acoustic survey, using two research vessels, in November and December 2006.

"While it is conceivable that a couple of surviving individuals were missed by the survey teams," the team wrote, "our inability to detect any baiji despite this intensive search effort indicates that the prospect of finding and translocating them to a [reserve] has all but vanished."

The scientists added that there were a number of human activities that caused baiji numbers to decline, including construction of dams and boat collisions.

"However, the primary factor was probably unsustainable by-catch in local fisheries, which used rolling hooks, nets and electrofishing," they suggested.

"Unlike most historical-era extinctions of large bodied animals, the baiji was the victim not of active persecution but incidental mortality resulting from massive-scale human environmental impacts - primarily uncontrolled and unselective fishing," the researchers concluded.

The biggest contributor to the extinction of the baiji dolphin is the chemical pesticide DDT. Most of you are probably familiar with the term, as it caused a massive uproar in the United States, where birds such as the peregrine falcon were seriously affected by it. Basically, when DDT is used as an insecticide, some of the residue will wash into rivers, lakes, and groundwater and begin to accumulate. It is absorbed by plants and single-celled organisms, which are then eaten by fish and amphibians, which are then eaten by birds, mammals, and other larger animals. DDT remains in an animal's system and accumulates, so the concentration if the chemical in an organism gets greater as you go up the food chain. In birds, particularly the predatory species, DDT causes the shell of their eggs to become thin and easily broken. Obviously, the same thing happens to dolphins.

The United States banned the use of DDT, but China, as unconcerned with environmental issues as they are with human rights, has not instituted a ban. How many more egg-laying animals must become extinct before the fucking gooks stop worrying about the 2008 olympics and actually concentrate on accomplishing something globally significant?
