Red Cetacea možemo podijeliti na dva podreda: kitove usane (Mysticeti) i kitove zubane (Odontoceti), koje razlikujemo po građi tijela, čeljusti, lubanje itd. U ovom radu izložen je kratki pregled kitova koji su viđeni u Jadranskom moru te su pobliže opisane vrste iz porodice Delphinidae. Iz podreda Mysticeti zabilježeni su veliki sjeverni kit (Balaenoptera physalus) i grbavi kit (Megaptera novaeangliae), prvi kao sezonski, a drugi kao slučajni posjetitelj Jadrana. Od vrsta koje stalno borave u Jadranu, podredu Odontoceti pripadaju: dobri dupin (Tursiops truncatus), prugasti dupin (Stenella coeruleoalba) i glavati dupin (Grampus griseus). Za običnog dupina (Delphinus delphis) smatra se da u Jadran dolazi rijetko, u potrazi za hranom. Pripada regionalno izumrlim vrstama. Zapisi o crnom i bjelogrlom dupinu (Pseudorca crassidens, Globicephala melas) su rijetki, stoga se pretpostavlja da se radi o izoliranim slučajevima ulaska u Jadransko more. Cetaceans are divided in two suborders: baleen whales (Mysticeti) and toothed whales (Odontoceti), which we differ in body shape, jaws, skull etc. This paper presents a brief overview of whales found in the Adriatic Sea, with emphasis on a detailed description of species from the Delphinidae family. In the Mysticeti suborder, the Fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) and Humback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) are mentioned, one as a seasonal and the latter as an accidental visitor of the Adriatic. The species that reside in the Adriatic which belong to the Odontoceti suborder are: bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba) and Risso's dolphin (Grampus griseus). The common dolphin is known to venture into the Adriatic rarely, most likely in search of food. It is classified as a regionally extinct species. Sightings of false killer whale and long-finned whale (Pseudorca crassidens, Globicephala melas) are rare, so it is assumed that those were isolated cases of entries into the Adriatic.
