Dolphins mainly eat fish and squid. Different species are known to prefer different types of food. Mackerels are known to have more fat as compared to squids; therefore certain species of dolphins prefer mackerels to other species of fish. Dolphins also feed on planktons and smaller varieties of fish as well. Herrings and cod also form a part of their diet.
Dolphins use a variety of ways to procure food. These techniques vary between species and within particular species as well. Such is their intelligence that dolphins are used for fishery in many countries. A modern format of fishing is practiced in Laguna and Brazil. Here, dolphins indicate the fishermen at the shore the precise moment when they can cast their nets. In turn, dolphins feed on the various fish that escape the nets. At times, dolphins work together in a group and surround smaller fish to procure their food. Sometimes they use their tail to strike certain fish in order to stun them.
These are the basic dolphin food facts, which display a small percentage of their intelligence levels. In reality, dolphins are truly extraordinary creatures, which have formed a strong bond with man.
