Long-term (1990-1996) results of recording gastric ulcers in the common dolphin are presented for the NW Spanish Atlantic coast. The occurrence and abundance of cetacean carcasses (belonging to 10 species) with gastric ulcers are also given and discussed. Ulcerations were detected in 17.2% of the animals examined, with 15% for common dolphins and 0 to 29.4% in other cetacean species. A positive relation was noted between ulcer counts and length and maturity of Delphinus delphis. Clusters of the nematode Anisakis simplex could be seen embedded in the gastric ulcers of 3 common dolphins. It could be concluded that gastric ulcers are non-fatal lesions in cetaceans stranded in NW Spain.
本文呈现了西班牙西北大西洋沿岸普通海豚胃溃疡的长期（1990 - 1996年）记录结果。同时给出并讨论了患有胃溃疡的鲸类尸体（属于10个物种）的出现情况和数量。在所检查的动物中，17.2%检测到有溃疡，普通海豚为15%，其他鲸类物种为0至29.4%。在瓶鼻海豚中，溃疡数量与体长和成熟度之间存在正相关关系。在3只普通海豚的胃溃疡中可以看到简单异尖线虫的虫簇。可以得出结论，胃溃疡对于搁浅在西班牙西北部的鲸类来说并非致命性损伤。
