I think fish and sharks aren’t intelligent enough to realize that mammals have lungs. Orcas however are smart enough to know how to drown a great white shark.
I wonder what fish and sharks think of whales and dolphins that have to surface to breath. I can totally see it "get out of here air breather, go hug the surface."

The closest might be sharks hunting seals, since they’d have some understanding that seals go to the surface. They might not understand the breathing bit though, more just location.
Orcas do something similar, and while that shows more of an understanding of the breathing, it doesn’t fit the prompt since they’re marine mammals too.
Personally I try to avoid all of them and focus on my urchins /s

Only humans hate others for being different. So no, I’d imagine they wouldn’t think anything like that at all. In fact, I’d bet they would be incredibly curious and ask tons of questions.

I know from experience dogs, cows and a lot of birds hate each other for being different, so this is nothing unique.

You’re confusing instinctive territorial behavior with hate.

Stupid cetacean! You’re just feeding into “Big Air”. Stop poisoning our water with your lies!!!

If they were capable of thinking in that way, I imagine they’d just assume they were going up for fishing or warmth or something. Plenty of fish go near the surface, too. I imagine halibut don’t think salmon are breathing when they go to the surface or jump out of the water.

I bet most fish and sharks are like “oh fuck oh shit oh fuck” whenever they see whales and dolphins
