Best Answer

They eat small fish, zooplankton and phytoplankton
Salmon are carnivores and eat meat and protein products. In the wild, salmon may dine on zooplankton and small invertebrates. When they are grown, salmon can eat smaller fish, like herring, or the ship-like krill. Salmon kept in farms are usually fed a ground-up mixture of other fish and organisms from the ocean.
Salmon eat smaller fish, crustaceans, and insects, except when they are heading up-river to breed and die. Then they don't eat at all.
