The white-beaked dolphin is a social animal, most commonly found in groups of less than ten. They are mostly distributed in the western part of the North Sea. Adults can reach 2.3 to 3.1 meter long and weigh 180 to 354 kg. They use sonar clicks to communicate. | The white-beaked dolphin is a social animal, most commonly found in groups of less than ten.

Description:
Example species: Minke whale
Habitat: Pelagic
Main role: Predator
Trophic level: 4,36
Diet: Their diet is dominated by fish: mostly sandeel, but also herring, mackerel and gadoids such as whiting, haddock, and Norway pout.
Threats: Minke whales are sensitive to entanglement in fishing gear and boating accidents. Fishing can deplete their food resources.
Example species: Porpoise
Habitat: Pelagic
Main role: Predator
Trophic level: 4,8
Diet: Porpoises prey on whiting and sandeel.
Threats: Sensitive to entanglement in fishing nets and fishing depletion of food resources.
Example species: White-beaked dolphin
Habitat: Pelagic
