Home›Fish›Diet›Filter FeederBrowse ByFilter FeederDiet groups species by what they mainly eat: herbivores that feed on plants, carnivores that feed on other animals, omnivores that eat both, and narrower feeding styles such as insectivores, piscivores, filter feeders, detritivores and scavengers, and parasitic species that live on or in a host. A species is placed by its own typical adult feeding behavior as described on its page, not by an occasional or unusual meal.FactsFilter FeederSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonReproductive ModeWell-attestedOviparous (Egg-Laying) 1Filter FeederFilter Results5 entriesCommon GroupAllAncient And Relict Fish (Coelacanth, Lungfish) (1)Other Bony Fish (1)Sharks, Rays And Chimaeras (3)Everyday GroupAllAncient And Relict Fish (Coelacanth, Lungfish) (1)Other Bony Fish (1)Sharks, Rays And Chimaeras (3)HabitatAllLake (1)Marine (2)Open Ocean (2)River (1)Where It LivesAllAustria (1)Belarus (2)Belgium (1)Brazil (2)Bulgaria (2)Canada (2)Chile (2)China (2)Colombia (2)Comoros (1)Cuba (1)Czechia (2)Denmark (1)Djibouti (1)Eritrea (1)France (1)Greece (2)Hungary (1)Israel (2)Kenya (1)Lithuania (1)Madagascar (1)Mauritius (1)Mexico (3)Mozambique (1)New Zealand (2)North America (2)Norway (2)Panama (1)Poland (1)Portugal (1)Romania (2)Russia (2)Serbia (1)Seychelles (1)Slovakia (1)Slovenia (1)South Africa (2)Spain (2)Sweden (1)Taiwan (3)Tanzania (1)Ukraine (2)United States (2)Venezuela (2)Vietnam (1)Conservation StatusAllEndangered (3)Least Concern (1)Vulnerable (1)System (Realm)AllFreshwater (2)Marine (3)Living or ExtinctAllYes (5)Relationship to PeopleAllHunted or Fished (4)Used in Traditional Medicine (1)CITES AppendixAllAppendix II (4)Not Listed (1)NatureServe RankAllG2 Imperiled (1)G3 Vulnerable (2)G4 Apparently Secure (1)G5 Secure (1)EcosystemAllCoral Triangle (2)Great Lakes (2)Ningaloo Reef (1)Raja Ampat (1)TaxonomyAllActinopterygii (1)Chondrichthyes (3)Cypriniformes (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 5American PaddlefishFilter FeederBasking SharkFilter FeederBigmouth buffaloFilter FeederGiant Oceanic Manta RayFilter FeederWhale SharkFilter FeederSources1.
