Abstract
The Amazon River dolphin Inia geoffensis is distributed throughout the Amazon and Orinoco River basins. The species is rare in captivity and as at 31 December 1996 there were only 3.0 reported to ISlS and 1.4 maintained at Valencia Aquarium, Venezuela. This paper describes the husbandry, diet and veterinary care of 14 dolphins maintained at Valencia Aquarium between 1975 and 1995, and the rearing and development of a ♀ born at the institution in 1994.
