Dolphins and beam trawlers
Dolphins off the coasts of Veneto, Italy, forage behind bottom trawlers and midwater pair trawlers, but normally they do not follow beam trawlers. This bottlenose dolphin group crossed a beam trawler but just ignored it, diving past the boat and moving on without changing track.

Dolphin and cod end buoy
Bottlenose dolphin surfacing besides the cod-end buoy of a bottom trawler while the net is being dragged. For dolphins off Veneto, Italy, following bottom and midwater trawlers is a 'popular' foraging behaviour.
