Abstract
⺠We modelled common dolphin ecological niche from different opportunity data sources. ⺠We compared the reliability of both data sources as compared to dedicated surveys. ⺠Chlorophyll concentration was the most important variable for both data sources. ⺠This supports previous studies showing ecological specialization in schooling fish. ⺠This specialization should be considered in evaluating the species conservation needs.
