- Sperm and bottlenose whales are known to pursue fishing boats to catch fish that escape the nets.
- It's an easy way to get a meal but makes them more dependent on fishing boats, experts say.
- The whales also face a greater risk of entanglement in fishing nets, which kills thousands each year.
Humans catch about 95 million metric tons of fish every year, contributing to the trillion-dollar frenzy of the global fishing industry.
Interestingly, some whale species have also found ways to profit from the fishing business.
