Whelks are typically carnivores that feed on small mollusks, crustaceans, and other invertebrates. They are preyed upon by larger predators such as fish, crabs, and sea otters. Whelks play a role as both predator and prey in the marine food chain, helping to maintain the balance of the ecosystem.
Whelks have been found in the fossil record dating back over 100 million years, indicating their presence since ancient times. In terms of modern discovery, whelks have likely been harvested for food and admired for their shells for thousands of years throughout human history across different cultures and regions.

Channeled Whelks are carnivorous and primarily feed on bivalves such as mussels and clams. They use their strong shell-crushing radula to puncture and consume the soft tissues of their prey. They may also scavenge on dead marine organisms.
