The Alaskan King Crab also has several natural predators that consider them a food source. Fish such as the halibut or pacific cod are good examples of predators as well as sea otters, octopuses and other types of Crab.

Baby oysters are preyed upon by all filter feeders and by fish. Adult oysters are eaten by rays and carnivorous mollusks and fish like black drums. Of course, humans are their biggest predator because we like the way they taste!
