Basically Dolphins are carnivores and therefore predators, but they may be killed and eaten by man (Japan) and some of the larger carnivorous whales.
To add to this answer, they mainly eat fish and squid which they locate with ultrasonic echolocation similar to bats. They are not only eaten in japan but also in Indonesia, the Koreas and various other Indo-pacific countries.
