Bottlenose dolphins are the only cetacean found in the Gulf of Amvrakikos, at one of the highest densities for the species in the Mediterranean Sea, showing high levels of year-round site fidelity. Since 2021, this subpopulation is listed as Critically Endangered under the IUCN Red List. Bottlenose Dolphins in the Gulf of Ambracia frequently engage in surface feeding of small schooling epipelagic fish (i.e., sardines and anchovies). They are often observed also foraging around aquaculture facilities, attracted by the higher concentration of wild fish species in the vicinity of the fish farm cages, probably due to pellets lost through cages and/or particulate organic matter from broken pellets and fish faeces.
