No, Beavers do not eat fish. Most of the beaver's diet is made up of tree bark and cambium, the soft tissue that grow under the bark of a tree. They especially like the bark of willow, maple, birch, aspen, cottonwood, beech, poplar, and alder trees. Beavers also eat other vegetation like roots and buds and other water plants. The beaver has a specialized digestive system that helps it digest tree bark. No, beavers do NOT eat fish. They are herbivores. They only eat plants. they eat leaves, bark, twigs, roots and aquatic plants.

Yes. In some cases they prevent the fish from getting further upstream or downstream but they also create many ponds and small lakes for fish to live in. The ponds and lakes created by beaver do not freeze to the bottom in winter which is good for the fish living in them.
