Diet composition of franciscana dolphin Pontoporia blainvillei from southern Buenos Aires, Argentina and its interaction with fisheries

The present study provides information about the diet composition of franciscana dolphin, Pontoporia blainvillei, from southern Buenos Aires coast, Argentina. From 2003 to 2011 we collected 66 franciscana dolphins that were incidentally entangled in artisanal fishing nets. We analyzed the stomach co...

From 2003 to 2011 we collected 66 franciscana dolphins that were incidentally entangled in artisanal fishing nets. We analyzed the stomach contents and estimated the prey size in order to evaluate the diet composition and the overlapping with fisheries. We identified 11 prey species in the stomach contents; only two of them were important in the diet, the striped weakfish, Cynoscion guatucupa, and the squid, Loligo sanpaulensis.
