Capelin are consumed by a variety of predators in the marine ecosystem. Notable consumers include larger fish such as cod, haddock, and mackerel. Additionally, seabirds like puffins and kittiwakes, as well as marine mammals such as seals and whales, also feed on capelin. Their abundance makes them an important food source within the North Atlantic food web.
