Diet overlap between harbour porpoise and bottlenose dolphin: An argument in favour of interference competition for food? (2006, unknown): “…this is likely to cause some biases in the quantification of the importance by number and by mass of the different species as the various diagnostic parts used in the analyses do not have the same retention times in the stomachs (e.g. Murie, 1987; Pierce and Boyle, 1991; Santos et al., 2001b).”
Variability in the diet of bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, in Galician waters, north-western Spain, 1990–2005 (2007, background): “Santos et al. (2001) found the gadid fish cod (Gadus morhua), saithe (Pollachius virens) and whiting (Merlangius merlangus) to be the main prey in stomach contents of ten bottlenose dolphins from Scotland (UK), although several other fish species, including salmon (Salmo salar), and some…”
Parallel influence of climate on the behaviour of Pacific killer whales and Atlantic bottlenose dolphins (2004, background): “However, it remains uncertain whether salmonids predominate in the diet of the Moray Firth bottlenose dolphins or whether they play a qualitative function (Santos et al. 2001).”
