What the sources say about this taxon, as written.

biology_ecology · Plazi

Movements, Home range and Social organization. Group sizes are small at 2-6 individuals, but groups of up to 14 individuals have been documented. Social groups have a fluid structure, that overlies more stable associations; individuals have strong, longlasting associations and casual acquaintances. Social vocalization whistles are 1-8 Hz. Interactions have been observed between Australian Snubfin Dolphins and Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins ( Sousa chinensis ). These usually involve dominantly aggressive or sexual behavior on the part of the humpback dolphins. There is some evidence for seasonal movements of the Australian Snubfin Dolphin along the northern Australian coast, and populations that use Cleveland Bay in Queensland are non-resident. Otherwise, there are scant data on migration, movement, and residency patterns for the Australian Snubfin Dolphin.

Food and Feeding. The Australian Snubfin Dolphin, like the Irrawaddy Dolphin, is a generalist feeder and forages on a wide variety offish, cephalopods, and crustaceans found in coastal and estuarine waters throughoutits distribution. Prey includes both bottom-dwelling and pelagic species, indicating that Australian Snubfin Dolphins feed throughout the water column. The most commonly documented prey are cardinal fish ( Apogon sp. ), cuttlefish (Sepiasp.), squid ( Uroteuthis sp. ), and toothpony fish (Gaza sp.). Fish from the families Clupeidae , Engraulidae , Apogonidae , Chirocentridae , Anguilidae, Pomadasydae, Sillaginidae , Hemirhampidae, Terapontidae , and Leiognathidae also have been recorded in diets of Australian Snubfin Dolphins. Echolocation clicks are broadband and pulsed, generally above 22 kHz.
