Question
In Brazil, humans and bottlenose dolphins have created symbiotic relationships. The dolphins dive down into the water resulting in groups of fish being pushed toward the fishermen. The fishermen then throw their nets out to catch the fish. The fish that get away from the net tend to swim back toward the dolphins who catch and eat them.What types of relationships are exhibited here?Select one:a.Mutualism and predationb.Predation and parasitismc.Commensalism and predationd.Mutualism and commensalism
Solution
The relationship exhibited here is mutualism and predation. Mutualism is a type of relationship where both species benefit. In this case, the dolphins help the fishermen catch fish, and in return, the dolphins get to eat the fish that escape. Predation is a relationship where one organism (the predator) kills and eats another (the prey). In this scenario, the dolphins are predators who eat the fish, which are the prey. So, the correct answer is a. Mutualism and predation.
