 h English (en)Belugas are opportunistic predators. Their diet changes with region and season and includes fishes such as salmon, eulachon, cod, and herring, together with squid, octopuses, shrimp, crabs, clams, snails, and marine worms. They forage in the water column and on or near the seabed. Flexible lips and tongue movements allow suction to assist in taking prey, while the teeth hold rather than masticate it.<ref name="feeding">Werth, A. J. (2006).

 h Japanese (ja)シロイルカは機会的捕食者である。食性は地域と季節によって変化し、サケ、ユーラカン、タラ、ニシンなどの魚類に加え、イカ、タコ、エビ、カニ、二枚貝、巻貝、海生蠕虫などを食べる。水柱内だけでなく、海底またはその近くでも採餌する。柔軟な唇と舌の動きによる吸引で獲物を取り込み、歯は咀嚼よりも保持に用いられる。<ref name="feeding">Werth, A. J.
