Description
Summary:Acknowledgments This study was funded by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). Stomach contents of Risso’s dolphin were provided by Scottish Agricultural College under the auspices of the UK cetacean stranding monitoring programme. Research trawl survey data were provided by Marine Scotland Science. Data on Risso’s dolphin occurrence around the UK and Ireland were provided the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group (IWDG), Marinelife and the JNCC Seabirds At Sea Team. We thank Sarah Dolman for her assistance in setting up this study. Peer reviewed
