Their primary predator is the fisherman (although generally accidental) via getting caught in nets and drowning. Fisheries, bycatch, pollutants, and boats. They have no real natural predator besides man. They are testing a new 10KHz pingers attached to the nets to repel the dolphins, with this they hope to limit the numbers killed. The North Island is critically endangered and the South Island is endangered as reported by IUCN
