That's a clever strategy for pods not to compete with one another while limiting the overall total population of apex predators. Probably produces a more stable equilibrium of the total number of orcas.
Wonder if the fishing boats mainly catch the fish these orcas eat?

Orcas are smart. They’ll hunt as a team. There are videos of them rocking a small ice floe to dislodge a seal sitting on the floe.
I think they’ve figured out these boats are taking their fish and they’re pissed.

That is an interesting question. I’d be curious too.
