predatory fish

Predatory fish are species that hunt and feed on other aquatic animals for nourishment. They have specialized features such as sharp teeth, keen eyesight, and swift movements to catch their prey, which can include smaller fish, crustaceans, and invertebrates. These fish play an important role in maintaining healthy ocean ecosystems by controlling prey populations and ensuring ecological balance. Examples include sharks, pike, and barracuda. Their behavior and adaptations make them effective predators, often occupying top or secondary positions in the food chain.
