Scavenger fish primarily feed on dead or decaying organic matter, including the remains of other fish and aquatic animals. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by helping to clean up the environment and recycle nutrients. Some scavenger fish may also consume detritus, algae, and organic debris found on the seafloor. Their diet can vary based on their habitat and the availability of food sources.
