Humpback Whale: Hunting Technique
The Humpback Whales eat plankton and small fish. They are baleen whales, meaning they do not eat large prey, rather taking in a large amount of water with plankton and small fish and then filter the water back out through their baleen, leaving only the plankton and small fish left in their mouth to consume.
krill and small fish. krill are a marine invertebrates which look like shrimp. they are present in all oceans of the world they eat photo-plankton so are considered keystone species near the bottom of the food chain.
Humpback whales (like all baleen whales) are seasonal feeders and carnivores that filter feed tiny crustaceans (krill - mainly Euphausia superba, copepods, etc.), plankton, and small fish (including herring, mackerel, capelin, and sandeel) from the water. They are gulpers (not skimmers), filter feeders that alternatively swim then gulp a mouthful of plankton or fish. Concentrated masses of prey are preferable for this method of feeding. An average-sized humpback whale will eat 4,400-5,500 pounds (2000-2500 kg) of plankton, krill and small, schooling fish each day during the feeding season in cold waters (about 120 days). They eat twice a day. http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/whales/species/Humpbackwhale.shtml

The humpback is a predator, taking krill and small schooling fish, such as herring, salmon, capelin and sand lance as well as mackerel, pollock and haddock in the North Atlantic. Krill and copepods have been recorded from Australian and Antarctic waters. Humpbacks hunt by direct attack or by stunning prey by hitting the water with pectoral fins or flukes
