Risso's dolphins are also taken in unknown numbers (14% of the cetacean entanglements observed) in the New England swordfish driftnet fishery (Read 1990).
Estimates of catches in the French albacore driftnet fishery for 1990 were 420–460 dolphins (Antoine 1990); the species involved were both striped and common dolphins.
Risso's dolphin is taken quite frequently in the Sri Lankan fishery (between 6% and 16% of the total cetacean catch - Dayaratne and de Silva 1990).
