Bryde's whales feed on a wide variety of fish, planktonic crustaceans, and cephalopods. Prey differs by location and season. In the Gulf of Siam, there is a fight for whoever can catch the anchovy.

Competition for space although limited is still prevalent between the Whales and the fishing population of Thailand.

All of life is so *'interconnected.** We simply *can't afford to be losing any species at an accelerated rate...* loss of one, limits the other. Here' we see one of nature's food webs in action, species competing for *same prey items.* A combination of anchovy, herring, shrimp and baby crab. Small terns 'dip and dive' to pick off these tiny morsels as 'great behemoths' lunge from the sea to gulp and gather the very same fish. At this exact moment, one provides for another, a symbiotic relationship termed commensalism; whereby only one species benefits (the terns) - while the other is neither helped nor harmed...
