Fatal predation of oilfish, Ruvettus pretiosus (Gempylidae), by a young short-finned pilot whale, Globicephala macrorhynchus (Delphinidae)
We found a dead whale ( Globicephalus macrorhynchus ) whose probable cause of death was an internal injury produced by a 1m-long oilfish ( Ru - vettus pretiosus ) that had bitten the whale ́s stomach from the inside. This is the first record of an oilfish in Mexican Caribbean waters.
