predatory conduct

Explanation:
I think the word conduct makes more sense here because predatory behavior is more commonly seen in a scientific context.

Example sentence(s):

The Bureau published Enforcement Guidelines on the Abuse of Dominance Provisions, the Inf. Bulletin as Applied to the Retail Grocery Industry and the Inf. Bulletin as Applied to the Telecommunications Industry which also address predatory conduct.

predatory dumping

Explanation:
Text seems to have been borrowed from

http://jus.com.br/revista/texto/5003/da-concorrencia-desleal

4.1 - Predatoriedade
No dumping, caracterizado como concorrência desleal, deve existir a finalidade predatória.
No contexto interno esta predatoriedade limita-se à venda, injustificadamente, sem margem de lucro, ou abaixo do preço de mercado. O dumping predatório não é caracterizado apenas pela prática de preço abaixo do vigente, pois a venda a preço inferior ao do concorrente é da própria natureza empresarial.
.......
A legislação mencionada não define o que venha a ser predatoriedade. Porém Celso Ribeiro Bastos [26] afirma que "a predatoriedade é danosa por natureza; ao consumidor, a longo prazo e ao mercado a curto prazo, porque leva o predador ao monopólio individual ou em cartéis".
