Dolphins are able to herd schools of fish, cooperating to keep a 'ball' of fish together for a long time while feeding from it.
However, taming and sustained breeding is a long way from herding behavior - it requires long term planning for multi-year time periods, and I'm not sure if that has been observed in dolphins.
