What organisms do gray whales compete with?

Gray whales primarily compete with other marine organisms for food, particularly during their feeding season in the Arctic and sub-Arctic waters. They primarily feed on benthic invertebrates, such as amphipods, and may compete with other large filter feeders, like humpback whales and certain species of seals, for these food resources. Additionally, they may face indirect competition from human activities, such as fishing and shipping, which can impact the availability of their prey.
