What is the main threat to Dolphins?
the biggest threat dolphins are tuna nets that dolphins are gettting caught in fishing nets when catching fish such as tuna
What do dolphins eat besides fish?
They eat shrimp and tuna
What 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.
Do dolphins eat zoo plankton?
No, they eat fish. They are pretty smart. When a school of fish are found a group of dolphins will circle around the fish creating a ball of fish. Once they make the ball they go in one at a time and eat a few fish and keep doing it until they are done. By the way dolphins run under tuna and are used by tuna fishermen to find tuna.
What does it mean when the label on cans of tuna fish say they are dolphins-safe?
It means that the tuna is sourced from people who have instituted safety measures to try not to kill dolphins while they are catching tuna.
Are dolphins a type of tuna?
No, Tuna are too big for dolphins to eat, indeed Dolphins and Tuna frequently share the same prey, the dolphins coral bait fish into a bait ball which is then preyed upon by a number of large marine predators.

What do whales and dolphins eat?

Do sharks eat tuna?
Yes, when the stomach contents of various sharks were examined, tuna fish were occasionally found. However, generally speaking, tuna fish can swim faster than almost all species of sharks. Tuna fish are ranked among the fastest species in the ocean. Bluefin tunas, yellowfin tunas, and tunnys can swim especially fast. Marlins, sailfish, and wahoos can swim even faster than all species of tuna fish. Blue sharks can swim as fast as tuna fish but they prefer to eat squids and smaller fish instead of tuna fish, which they eat only occasionally. The oceanic whitetip shark, which occasionally eats humans after a ship sinks, is the exception. Despite swimming slower than all species of tuna fish, tuna fish are frequently found in the stomachs of oceanic whitetip sharks. Oceanic whitetip sharks wait for and ambush large schools of tuna fish. Canned tuna can contain skipjack tuna, albacore tuna, longtail (tonggol) tuna, or yellowfin tuna but never contains bigeye tuna or bluefin tuna because bigeye tuna and bluefin tuna end up being used for sashimi and sushi.
How do tuna's fish tough scales help it swim faster?
Cuz they DO!
Is tuna a predator?
Some tuna species (such as yellowfin tuna and skipjack tuna but not albacore tuna) associate with dolphins in the ocean. This helps themto avoid being eaten by sharks, which are one of their predators. Sharks are strongly attracted to tuna fish, even if the tuna fish are not injured or bleeding. However, examination of the contents of the stomachs of various sharks indicates that tuna fish have evolved to swim too fast for sharks to catch up to them and end up being eatenby sharks only occasionally.Other predators of tuna fish include orcas (killer whales), false killer whales, pilot whales, bottlenose whales, bottlenose dolphins, and marlins but the giant, filter-feeding whales and sharks can only eat small fish, which are usually not small tuna fish. Also, sperm whales occasionally eat tuna fish but like sharks, they tend to be too slow to catch up to tuna fish in most situations.However, because of man's strong appetite for tuna fish, humans are the only real possible threat to the sustainability of tuna fishing.Interestingly, blue sharks can swim as fast as tuna fish. Also, seals can swim faster than great white sharks but end up being frequently eaten by great white sharks because great white sharks wait patiently and then ambush them from deep below by surprise. All predatory sharks like to pretend that they are just harmless filter feeders when a large school of fish approaches them.
