Small fish generally do not eat whelks, as whelks are marine snails with hard shells that are difficult for fish to consume. However, some predatory fish may prey on juvenile whelks or their eggs. In contrast, small fish typically feed on plankton, smaller invertebrates, or plant material rather than larger, shelled organisms like whelks.
