Is halibut fish a scavenger

Answer 1

A scavenger is an animal that feeds on dead and/or decaying organisms. A halibut fish, however, typically feeds on plankton during its first year of life, whereas at two or three years of age, they begin to feed on euphausiids (small shrimp-like organisms) and small fish. As halibut grow, fish make up a larger part of their diet. Besides pollock, sablefish, cod, and rockfish, large halibut also eat octopus, herring, crabs, clams, and smaller halibut.

Therefore, the answer is no. A halibut is not a scavenger.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Halibut fish are not considered scavengers. They are predatory fish that primarily feed on smaller fish, squid, and crustaceans. They are known for being apex predators in their marine ecosystem.
