Abstract

This paper presents data on the prey of one bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) in the Adriatic Sea and a comparison with other findings about the feeding of this species in the Mediterranean.The stomach contents of this bottlenose dolphin caught in a fishing net in the area near the town of [ibenik in December 1995 were examined.In the prey we identified 3 species of fish (conger eel, Conger conger; hake, Merluccius merluccius and pandora, Pagellus erythrinus) and one cephalopod species (squid, Loligo vulgaris).It was found that these data are consistent with other data relating to dolphin feeding.
