Zoo Duisburg
Dudzinski began DCP’s studies of the dolphins at Zoo Duisburg in late 2012. She was invited to observe the dolphins and spent time documenting their behavior and vocalizations. There are nine dolphins calling the dolphinarium at Zoo Duisburg home. When Dudzinski visited in 2012 and 2013, 1 adult male, 3 adult females, 2 subadult females, and 2 male and 1 female calves called the dolphinarium home.
The Zoo opened in 1935 and was well received with more than 300,000 visitors in it’s first year. Though severely bombed during WWII, the zoo survived and rebuilt.

Kathleen Dudzinski, Ph.D.
Director, Dolphin Communication Project
Dr. Kathleen Dudzinski has been studying dolphin behavior and communication since 1990, with a focus on tactile, behavioral and acoustic signals employed by dolphins as they share information with each other and across groups. Dr. Dudzinski is Founder and Director of the Dolphin Communication Project (DCP). Her current research focuses on two groups of dolphins in managed care – at the Roatan Institute for Marine Sciences (RIMS) in Honduras and at Blue Lagoon Island, home of Dolphin Encounters (DE), on Nassau, The Bahamas.

Tadamichi Morisaka, Ph.D.
Lecturer, Tokai University Institute of Innovative Science and Technology
Specialties: Bioacoustics, Ethology, Ecology, Cognition
Interests: Evolution of odontocetes’ acoustic communication
Odontocetes, or toothed whales, use various sounds to search their environments and to communicate with each other. How, when and why do they evolve such a variable sounds? This is my research interest. Predatory-Prey interactions are seems to restrict their sound variations and activities. Additionally, I am involving conservation of wild dolphins using several techniques.
