Semen, prostate glandular extract, perianal glandular secretion, urine, feces and blood from Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, were analyzed chemically by gas chromatography. A fecal sample from a California sea lion, Zalophus californianus, was analyzed similarly. Acids, esters, amino acids, amines, steroids, esters, sugars and alcohols were among the compounds revealed in the analyses. Twenty-two identified compounds can be detected gustatorily in aqueous solutions of sufficient concentration by humans. The chemical compositions of samples from Tursiops are similar to those from humans and other mammals.
采用气相色谱法对宽吻海豚（Tursiops truncatus）的精液、前列腺提取物、肛周腺分泌物、尿液、粪便和血液进行了化学分析。对加利福尼亚海狮（Zalophus californianus）的一份粪便样本也进行了类似分析。分析中发现的化合物包括酸、酯、氨基酸、胺、类固醇、酯、糖和醇。22种已鉴定的化合物在足够浓度的水溶液中可被人类味觉检测到。宽吻海豚样本的化学成分与人类和其他哺乳动物的相似。
