A planktivore is an aquatic
organism
that consumes plankton, such as
the angelfish, and Whale sharks.
note: ("Plankton" is a broad term for an aquatic organism that has little to
no form of locomotion.)
it is neither. it is a consumer, and planktivore they eat small microscopic animals in their habitats.
Lake trout are carnivores - piscivores when prey are available and shifting to planktivore when they are not. They do not eat plant matter like moss.
Yes, the deep water cisco (Coregonus nipigon) is primarily a planktivore, which means it feeds on zooplankton and small aquatic organisms rather than being strictly classified as a herbivore. While it may consume some plant matter, its diet mainly consists of small crustaceans and other microscopic life forms found in the water column. Thus, it is more accurately described as a fish that feeds on a variety of small organisms rather than solely on plants.
