Travelling in groups of 5 - 10 dolphins, the Short-beaked Common Dolphins (Delphinus delphis) meet each other in schools of up to 200 individuals. They have been reported to mix within schools of other dolphins, tuna, and pilot whales. Common dolphins are threatened by humans in several way. They are used as shark bait and are caught accidently by the huge industrial trawler nets. Common Dolphins were abudant in the western Mediterranean Sea until the 1960s, and it remains a mystery why occurrences there have tailed off rapidly. Extensive human activity in the area might be the cause. In the U.S. they are a protected species, but trawler nets make no distinction in catching animals, yet they are still quite common throughout their range.
