Abstract The short‐beaked common dolphin, Delphinus delphis , is abundant in both neritic and oceanic habitats. These two domains differ largely terms of the nature forage organisms their availability to surface‐bound top predators, which suggests that dolphin should show extensive variability foraging strategies as a response these different However, although its diet well known over continental shelves, so far, mostly because sampling issues, nothing has been published on In this study,...

We used quantitative fatty acid signature analysis (QFASA) to predict the long-term diet of New Zealand (NZ) sea lions (Phocarctos hookeri) incidentally caught in NZ arrow squid (Nototodarus spp.) fishery. The QFASA model (FA) profiles based on 82 blubber samples bycaught between 2000 and 2006. First, was optimized by a series simulations for which 1 parameter—6 different sets calibration coefficients (CCs) from pinniped species feeding regime, 2 FAs, consideration individual prey values, or...
The food and feeding ecology of the striped dolphin, Stenella coeruleoalba , in oceanic waters north-east Atlantic were studied using stomach contents 60 dolphins caught albacore drift-net fishery throughout summer months 1992 1993 off Bay Biscay. Thirty-eight per cent these calves (0–1 years old), 25% juveniles (2–8) 37% mature adults (9–32, which 7 females 14 males). diet was found to be primarily composed fish (39% by mass (M)) cephalopods (56% M) secondarily crustaceans (5% M). most...
Abstract Although immature albacore tuna, Thunnus alalunga, are of economic and social importance in the Bay Biscay, little is known about their diet feeding ecology there. For this study, 78 caught French driftnet fishery during summer 1993 analysed. Fish dominated terms relative abundance (86%N), reconstituted mass (60%M), most important being Maurolicus muelleri (79%N, 23%M), Scomberesox saurus (2%N, 30%M), Arctozenus risso (4%N, 4%M). Crustaceans were also (12%N, 2%M), but given small...
Abstract This paper provides the first report of stomach contents common dolphin (Deiphinus sp.) from New Zealand waters. We examined 53 stomachs 42 stranded and 11 by‐caught North Island between 1997 2006. Although diet comprised a diverse range fish cephalopod species, prevalent prey were arrow squid Nototodarus spp., jack mackerel Trachurus anchovy Engraulis australis. Stranded dolphins that originated coastal waters, within neritic fed on both oceanic prey. Moreover, this mixed...
Post-mortem examinations provide valuable information on sources of mortality for marine mammal populations. However, no published data exist to describe causes death in the New Zealand population Common Dolphin (Delphinus sp.). In order examine proportion human and non-human induced affecting this population, necropsies were conducted 133 individuals that stranded around coastline between 1998 2008. Of these, 92.5% (n=123) found as beach cast carcasses, with just 7.5% (n=10) live strandings...
Abstract Campbell Plateau is an important fishing ground for the main commercial New Zealand species. Yet, studies on trophic interactions between species and their nutritional values are limited. The objectives of this study were to determine proximate composition energy contents selected non‐commercial marine from fatty acid (FA) composition, evaluate degree which can be differentiated by FA compositions. We analysed 43 fish specimens 5 different (Macruronus novaezelandiae, Lepidorhynchus...

Lactating New Zealand (NZ) sea lions (Phocarctos hookeri) exhibit different foraging patterns during their trips, with benthic divers spending more energy at than mesopelagic conspecifics. We compared blubber fatty acids (FAs) of 14 and 12 females captured the Auckland Islands, NZ subantarctic, in late January 2000 using an analysis similarities (ANOSIM). FA profiles between types were significantly (global R = 0.30, p 0.001), suggesting a use prey resources. then diet predictions by...
Abstract Prey detection and subsequent capture is considered a major hypothesis to explain feeding associations between common dolphins Australasian gannets. However, current lack of insight on nutritional strategies with respect foraging behaviours both species has until now, prevented any detailed understanding this conspecific relationship. Here we combine stomach content analysis (SCA), composition prey, multidimensional niche framework (MNNF) videography provide holistic dietary,...
Anomalies can arise when species-specific otolith equations are applied to congeneric species in analyses of seal prey remains. Opalfishes, Hemerocoetes, two spp., the most numerous fish diet New Zealand sea lions, Phocarctos hookeri, at their population base Auckland Islands. Opalfish identified from otoliths lion remains accounted for one-third items this and previous studies. This highlighted need estimate size opalfish accurately. Equations length differed between because H. morelandi...
Abstract Extract Tuberculosis has been described in seven species of pinnipeds. Based on host preference, phenotype and genetic antigenic testing, the causal bacterium classified as a distinct species, Mycobacterium pinnipedii, within M. tuberculosis complex. An adult male New Zealand sea lion (Phocarctos hookeri) was found dead Otago coastline mid 2005. Gross necropsy revealed multiple caseous foci throughout lungs, subcutaneous thoracic lymph nodes, mesenteric nodes. Histopathological...
In the Southern Ocean, myctophids (family Myctophidae) are speciose, dominate mesopelagic fish biomass, and important in diets of many fishes, squids, seabirds, marine mammals. Consequently, they play a key role carbon export energy transfer from primary consumers to top predators. However, delicate rarely found intact predator stomachs, which makes them difficult identify species. Fortunately, their otoliths (sagittae) mostly distinctive therefore useful for species identification. Previous...
