Can someone show me a food web for the baiji dolphin?

In a food web for the baiji dolphin, the baiji would be at the top as an apex predator, feeding on various fish species like carp and catfish. Its prey would include smaller fish, crustaceans, and insects. Other organisms in the food web could include birds, such as egrets and herons, that feed on the same fish species as the baiji.

There was a short period in which it was hunted because the new government stripped it of its traditionally revered status, but it was not the main reason why the Baiji became extinct. Since then, pollution and environmental degradation drove the population down.

Why are the Baiji Dolphins being killed?

AnswerReasons why the Baiji Dolphins are being killed:The Yangtze river Dolphin is the most endangered species on the planet and almost extinct.Unsustainable fishing and mass shipping. China industrialised and transformed the Yangtze into a crowded artery of mass shipping, fishing and power generation.Indiscriminate and illegal fishing practices. The Chinese would use large nets, then hit long pipes to confuse the Dolphins radar and gaff them into their boats. Dolphins are extremely human like in thought and useful not only to the American Navy, but to children with disabilities yet China did not see these Dolphins as much importance (having stripped it of its sacred status in Chinese culture during Mao's Great Leap Forward) until the 70's.Pollution and degradation of its habitat.Low employment in the 1980s - 1990s caused a rise in unskilled fishing.The Chinese government worked with scientists and many others trying to save the Dolphins but it was probably too late, and the last confirmed sighting was in 2004.
