We have recently necropsied a dolphin that had a porcupinefish stuck in its mouth and I am looking for a reference for, report of, or anecdotal information regarding small odontocetes consuming puffer-type fish e.g porcupine fish, globe fish etc, particularly from the families diodontidae and tetradontidae. Apparently there is a reference to killer whale and dolphin predation in the book "Encylopedia of fishes" by Paxton etal. but I have been unable to access this book. Other references I have found are unclear if it is dolphins or dolphinfish. I would appreciate the list ' s help if you have any information .
