What do pelagic fish eat?

Pelagic fish are fish that live in the pelagic zone, not the top or the bottom, of a body of water. Some of these fish are sharks, reef fish, herrings and sardines.

Yes, it is also a pelagic fish, has heaps of the good oils, and very good to eat.

the African penguins diet is mainly made up of pelagic fish

Yes, they eat small fish, krill, pelagic red crab, mackerel, and squid.

A pelagic fish lives near the surface of the water such as a herring or sardine

Pelagic fish are fish that live in the water column of coastal, ocean, and lake waters, but not on the bottom. Demersal fish live on or near the bottom.

Yes, they migrate for reproduction, so might not always be pelagic.

Ribbon eel,live in a pelagic zone :)

They are a Pelagic fish that roam the oceans.

No. Stripers are aggressive, pelagic fish for the most part, and adults are too large for flounder.

I believe there are some fish farmers (marketers?) who have Tuna caught live and then keep and feed them in very large enclosures in the ocean prior to selling them in the Japanese live fish market. So it must be possible to keep some Pelagics this way but by their very nature Pelagic fish would not be a natural choice for fish farming. The problem with Pelagic fish being suitable for aquaculture is what they…

Pelagic Fish such as Tuna, Albacore, and Marlin

it eats sockeye salmon

Pelagic and Benthic are opposites Benthic means living on the bottom Pelagic means living in the water above the bottom So pelagic fish make the open ocean their home. They swim continuously in open water, usually well offshore, they tend to be nomadic and do not remain in one area.

pelagic fish? Pelagic means open ocean so a pleagic fish lives in the ocean in the open ocean, good examples are tuna, marlin, swordfish, mahi mahi etc...

Swordfish primarily eat smaller fish, especially schooling species like sardines and pilchards. They are fast swimming fish which live in the open ocean and are thus known as pelagic predators. They are one of the top order predators in the seas.

"Mutton birds" refers to several species of large shearwaters (a type of pelagic bird). Shearwaters typically eat squid, crustaceans, plankton, or fish.

The general category is called 'pelagic'.

Sharks, squids and fish

ugly ones with BIG weiners!

Salmon are omivores. They may eat other small peligic fish. A salmon's diet depends on their species and where they are at the time.juvenile salmon eat zooplankton, and larval and adult invertebrates. adults In the ocean eat smaller fish, such as herring, pelagic amphipods and krill.

The Pelagic ocean is the top part of the ocean where the fish swim around. The top competition in this part of the ocean is the shark.

A salmon's diet depends on the species and region, but typically juvenile salmon eat zooplankton, and larval and adult invertebrates. In the ocean, salmon eat smaller fish, such as herring, pelagic amphipods and krill.

Demersal - fish like flounder, catfish, stingrays, soles. Any fish that lives near the bottom of the water column. Pelagic - tuna, mullet, trout, redfish, sheepshead, drum. Any fish that swims around in the "middle" of the water coulmn. Not strictly on the bottom.

Eating: Swordfish eat various animals in a very interesting manner. Swordfish eat animals depending on the range of depth they are in. They use their sword-shaped bill to slash large prey. They eat squids, cephalopods and pelagic fish.
