Dolphins Are Mammals, They need Oxygen to breathe. And because they lack gills they must breach the water to do so. If a Dolphin is caught in a net they cannot swim to the surface and as a result suffocate and drown!

What predators do dolphin have?

Whales and tuna fishermen are the predators for dolphins. The dolphins follow schools of tuna so the large tuna boats look for tuna by looking for dolphins. They set huge nets to catch the tuna, but the dolphins get caught up in the nets and because they are mammals they drown in the net. Many tuna companies say they don't do this anymore, but that isn't necessarily true. You can see video on this if you want to see what happen to the dolphins.
