Mud ring feeding (or mud plume fishing) is a cooperative feeding behavior seen in bottlenose dolphins on the lower Atlantic coast of Florida, United States and guiana dolphins, on the Estuarine-Lagoon Complex of Cananéia, south São Paulo State, southeastern Brazil. [1] Dolphins use this hunting technique to forage and trap fish.
