Knowledge for the distribution pattern of an animal species is fundamental for our understanding and conservation of the animal. Since researchers cannot conduct visual surveys during night, the nighttime distribution pattern of the dolphins which can hunt prey in a dark condition is difficult to study. Here we describe the detection of the nighttime distribution of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins around Mikura Island with custom-made stationed acoustic buoys.
