The Dusky Dolphin (Lagenorhynchus obscurus) is one of the best known small cetacean species in the Peruvian sea and in turn is the one that has suffered the most interaction with the artisanal fishery. With the present study, it is desired to expand the knowledge of its abundance / distribution relationship with oceanographic parameters. It is postulated that the distribution and abundance of the Dusky Dolphin is determined by the distribution of water masses and the food resources they possess. To verify this hypothesis, information was obtained from six hydroacoustic evaluation cruises of pelagic resources carried out by IMARPE between 2006 and 2011. The maps prepared with Surfer 9 software show that in this period the water masses present were Cold Coastal Waters (ACF), Surface Subtropical Waters (ASS), Surface Equatorial Waters (AES), Surface Tropical Waters (ATS), Temperate Waters of the Sub-Antarctic (ATSA) and Mixing Waters. The relationship of the species with the different types of water mass was evaluated using the non-parametric statistical test of Kruskal Wallis, this test was also used to assess the concentration in the different distribution areas, as well as the relationship with temperature sea surface (SST). In the sector defined by Bahía Independencia - San Juan de Marcona, the species occurs most frequently (Kruskal-Wallis; GL = 4; P<0.05) and is also the area where it is most abundant (Kruskal-Wallis; GL = 5; P <0.05). The greatest absolute number of sightings is concentrated in the cold coastal waters, but the standardized values at 10 mn traveled indicate that dolphins are more frequent both in cold coastal waters and in mixed waters formed by cold coastal and surface equatorial (Kruskal Wallis; GL = 4; P <0.05). The abundance values standardized at 10 mn show that the species stands out throughout the 2006-2011 period in cold coastal waters although the highest values are associated with the mixing waters formed by cold coastal with surface equatorial waters. (Kruskal Wallis; H = 10.21; GL = 4; P <0.05). It was more abundant in a range of SST between 14 and 16.9 ° C, at the same time highlighted below 30 mn of the coast.
