Best Answer

If you are referring to the cetacean, they expell stale air containing carbon dioxide from their blowhole.

If you are referring to the mahi-mahi (common dolphinfish) or pompano dolphinfish, they exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen in their gills by pulling oxygen-rich water through their mouths and pumping it over their gills.
