Some piscivorous species also consume crustaceans, mollusks, and marine worms, while some planktivorous species occasionally eat fish.

These four species of planktivorous fish feed mainly on calanoid copepods and larger crustaceans, the latter predominantly hyperiid amphipods to the north and euphausiids to the south.

The planktivorous alcids (auklets, dovekies, murrelets) participate in a relatively short food chain, as krill feed directly on phytoplankton.

What he calls a trophic cascade is a reduction in apex predators leading to a higher abundance of planktivorous fish that feed on zooplankton biomass.

Diurnal planktivorous fishes that feed above the reef are able to capture the plankton before it reaches the species living on the reef.
