Scientists are studying the diets of the oceans鈥� top predators as they change in response to their environments. This is because how much and what they eat can affect how ecosystems function.

And while researchers know that killer whales, also known as orcas, are the oceans鈥� apex predators, our understanding of their diet 鈥� particularly the quantity of each species they consume 鈥� remains incomplete. This is especially true for remote populations that cannot be observed year-round.
