Yes, anchovies do eat copepods. They are filter feeders that primarily consume small zooplankton, including copepods, as part of their diet. Anchovies use their gill rakers to filter these tiny organisms from the water as they swim. This feeding strategy plays a crucial role in the marine food web, supporting both anchovies and their predators.
