3-Dolphin can be caught in the nets of fishing boats.

Some nets are fitted with a dolphin exclusion device (DED) to allow dolphins to
escape. The diagram shows a DED.

KEY

(a) Use the diagram to explain how dolphins escape from a net fitted with a DED.

(b) The bar chart shows the average number of dolphins caught per 1000 trawls for three different
boats. A trawl is each time a fishing net is used.

The data shows the average number of dolphins caught before and after a DED was fitted

(i) State which boat caught the most

dolphins. ...............................................................................................................................
