Summary:Poster.-- Encontros IIM Primeira fase, 12 de decembro de 2019 Cetaceans are widely distributed throughout the North East Atlantic. Stranded individuals provide a good source of information, and are commonly used to study their cause of death, feeding ecology, potential effects of contaminants, life history, etc. Here we analysed stomach contents (prey composition, size and biomass) of cetaceans stranded in Galicia and Azores, as well as microplastic incidence in Galicia No
