The pilot fish swims with the shark and eats lice, crabs and blood-sucking worms. In exchange, the shark provides protection from the pilot fish's predators. Remoras also swim with sharks. It is believed that the remora eats scraps of food left by the shark as well as parasites. There is some debate regarding the role of the remora.
