It&#8217;s a simple question with profound implications for marine-mammal conservation and fisheries research. But it can a be tough question for scientists to answer because they can&#8217;t see what these animals are doing underwater. MBARI researcher Kelly Benoit-Bird is finding new ways to answer this question using specialized echosounders mounted on ships and undersea robots. In a recent paper, Benoit-Bird demonstrated for the first time how researchers can simultaneously measure the distribution, abundance, type, size, and movement of both predators and their prey in the deep sea.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2019-12-risso-dolphins-food.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">How Risso&#8217;s dolphins strike a balance between holding their breath and finding food<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What do marine mammals eat?
