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

Different pressures generate by human activities (noise, bottom disturbance, surface disturbance, artificial substrate) have different, complex effects on marine species in terms of movement, survival and procreation.

Dolphins is a month-by-month, computer generated data layer following calculations made by the ecosystem simulation (EwE).

Not applicable. This layer is not available in the MSP Challenge North Sea Edition.

Not applicable. This layer is not available in the MSP Challenge Baltic Sea Edition.

Not applicable. This layer is not available in the MSP Challenge Clyde Marine Region Edition.

Not applicable. This layer is not available in the MSP Challenge Adriatic Sea Edition.

Information

The type of dolphin that lives in the eastern Mediterranean Sea is the common dolphin (Delphinus delphis).
