Mud plume feeding (or mud ring fishing) is a cooperative feeding behavior seen in bottlenose dolphins on the lower coast of Florida. Dolphins use this hunting technique to forage and trap fish. A single dolphin will swim in a circle around a group of fish, swiftly moving his tail along the sand to create a plume. This creates a temporary net around the fish and they become disoriented. The fish begin jumping above the surface, so the dolphins can lunge through the plume and catch the fish.

Strategy

 * 1) Single dolphin in the group will begin to swim with his tail moving along the sand; initial appearance of suspended sediment will appear
 * 2) As the dolphin moves in a circle, the plume begins to grow
 * 3) Cessation of plume growth and repositioning of dolphin in orientation to the plume
 * 4) Dolphin lunges through the plume into the group of trapped fish
