Habitat and Ecology
Australian snubfin dolphins appear to be generalist feeders, taking a wide variety of fishes (including anchovies, sardines, eels, halibut, breams, grunters, and other estuarine species). They also eat cephalopods (squid, cuttlefish, and octopus), and crustaceans (shrimps and isopods, although the latter may be consumed incidentally).
