Popis: 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 Šibenik 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.
U ovom radu su prikazani podaci o plijenu jednog dobrog dupina (Tursiops truncatus) u Jadranskom moru u usporedbi s poznatim podacima o prehrani te vrste u Sredozemnom moru. Analiziran je sadržaj želuca dupina ulovljenog u ribarsku mrežu na području šibenskog akvatorija u prosincu 1995. godine. U plijenu su identificirane 3 vrste riba (ugor, Conger conger; oslić, Merluccius merluccius i arbun, Pagellus erythrinus) i jedna vrsta glavonožaca (lignja, Loligo vulgaris) te je utvrđeno da se ovi podaci podudaraju s ostalim saznanjima o prehrani te vrste u Sredozemnome moru.
