Description

Habitat: Pelagic

Main role: Predator

Trophic level: t.b.t.

Diet: Dolphins eat many species of fish like sardines, herrings, and bonitos, octopuses and squids. They are fast swimmers, swimming up to the speed of 60 km per hour.

Threats: Dolphins are sensitive for habitat degradation, caused by pollution, coastal development, and other human activities. Overfishing of prey by humans can lead to food shortages for dolphins, affecting their health and reproduction. Dolphins can become unintentional victims of fishing operations, particularly in nets and lines meant for other species.

MSP Challenge
