'''Threats:''' Cetaceans have been the target of extensive hunting for their meat, blubber, and oil by commercial enterprises. Noise pollution from sources like shipping, oil drilling, and military activities can interfere with cetacean communication, navigation, and feeding. This can lead to stress and reduced reproductive success. Additionally overfishing of key prey species for cetaceans, can lead to food scarcity and overall population declines. | '''Threats:''' Cetaceans have been the target of extensive hunting for their meat, blubber, and oil by commercial enterprises.

The Cetacean species in the North Sea are: Minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata), Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), White-beaked dolphin (Lagenorhynchus albirostris), and Atlantic white-sided dolphin (Lagenorhynchus acutus) | [[File:640x427-white-beaked-dolphin.jpg|thumb|White-Beaked Dolphin ([https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/species/white-beaked-dolphin NOAA])]] | ||

'''Diet:''' They prey on whiting and cephalopods. | |||

The Cetacean species in the North Sea are: Minke whale (''[https://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=137087 Balaenoptera acutorostrata]''), Porpoise (''[https://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=137087 Phocoena phocoena]''), White-beaked dolphin (''[https://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=137101 Lagenorhynchus albirostris]''), and Atlantic white-sided dolphin (''[https://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=137100 Lagenorhynchus acutus]''). In the North Sea they feed on Herring, Mackerel, Sandeel and Demersal Fish. Their well-being is significantly affected by noise, and they actively avoid surface disturbance. Additionally, they are often seen as by-catch in drift & fixed nets fishing. | |||
