Some plankton are omnivores, because they devour both animal and plant matter. Other types of plankton may be strictly herbivores or complete carnivores. Some plankton is none of these, because it is tiny plants, not animals.
Animal plankton are typically omnivores, feeding on a variety of other organisms such as smaller zooplankton, fish larvae, and even plant plankton. Plant plankton, also known as phytoplankton, are photosynthetic organisms that primarily obtain energy from sunlight and nutrients from the water, so they are not considered omnivores.
Yes, and a detrivore.
if plankton is an animal, its a carnivore, if not then its onivore
They are omnivores and detrivores: they eat phytoplankton (plants), other plankton, and biological waste.
herbivore, but if you count small plankton that sometime float into their mouth while their swimming, then omnivores
No, they are carnivores, they eat plankton.
Shrimp eat seaweed and plankton because they are omnivores
Scallops are filter feeders and filter plankton. Some of this plankton may be plant life and some may be animal life, the scallop can not select one or the other and therefore scallops are omnivores.
Clams are filter feeders, meaning they primarily feed on plankton and other microscopic organisms found in the water. Therefore, they are considered herbivores.
Adult Blue Tang are omnivores. They feed on plankton, algae and shrimp.
Fresh water shrimp feed on plankton smaller than they are. This is, by and large, phytoplankton but may include some zoo plankton, particularly small eggs. Thus they are technically omnivorous.
Clownfish are omnivores, so in the wild they eat live food such as algae, plankton, mollusks, and crustacea
