Talk:Bubble-net feeding

Use of bubble nets by dolphins
There was a scene in BBC's Blue Planet series that showed dolphins using bubble nets to catch sardines. Is this enough evidence to include dolphins in this article? 97.113.230.96 (talk) 01:19, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Qustions
Hain et al.(1982) is referenced by some sentences in this article. But,
 * (1) "During this feeding season humpback whales actively feed for up to twenty-two hours a day." : Hain et al.(1982) have described "twenty-two hours a day" nowhere in their article.
 * (2) "They do this so they can store enough fat reserves to live through their breeding season when they do not eat at all." : It may be true, but it also haven't mentioned by Hain et al.(1982).
 * (3) "This behavior is not instinctual, it is learned; not every population of humpbacks knows how to bubble net feed." : Hain et al.(1982) have said "a given humpback whale will generally repeat a fairly rigid feeding pattern", but it doesn't mean it caused by learning or instinct.
 * (4) "Humpback whales use vocalizations to coordinate and efficiently execute the bubble net so they all can feed." : Hain et al.(1982) have described "The whale sounds, ...", but it's made by flukes, not vocalization. Hain et al.(1982) haven't mentioned about vocalization.
 * (5) "One whale will sound a feeding call, at which point all whales simultaneously swim upwards with mouths open to feed on the trapped fish." : same as above
 * (6) "As the whales swim up to the surface to feed they can hold up to 15,000 gallons of sea water in their mouths." : Hain et al.(1982) haven't mentioned about amount of water in mouth.
