With reference to a message recently posted to marmam (see below), I suggest that those interested in publications on Adriatic cetaceans also consult the literature cited in the publication below, including a review of historical information. Please note that some of the most recent articles are missing as the manuscript was submitted in 2003.
Bearzi G., Holcer D., Notarbartolo di Sciara G. 2004. The role of historical dolphin takes and habitat degradation in shaping the present status of northern Adriatic cetaceans. Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems 14:363-379.

More information may be found in a review of contributions by Italian scientists (1638-2003):
Bearzi G., Notarbartolo di Sciara G., Bonizzoni S. 2005. Scientific literature on Mediterranean cetaceans: the Italian contribution. In B. Cozzi, ed. Marine mammals of the Mediterranean Sea: natural history, biology, anatomy, pathology, parasitology. Massimo Valdina Editore, The Coffee House Art & Adv, Milano.
