Abstract: Post-mortem examination of a stranded Atlantic white-sided dolphin (lagenorynchus acutus) revealed congested lungs, sanguinous fluid in the peritoneal cavity, and an oral wound. Histopathologic findings were acute necrotizing hepatitis and acute focal bronchopneumonia. Vibrio alginolyticus was isolated from the blood and other organs.
