How do aquatic animals take their food
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 4 years, 5 months ago

Fish “hear” by picking up pressure changes and vibrations in the water through a lateral line (a system of thousands of tiny hair cells that run the length of a fish's body and work as a sensory organ) along each side of their body. The lateral line helps a fish to find and capture food and avoid enemies. Some bony fishes, such as anchovies (family Engraulidae) are filter feeders. They strain plankton from the water with gill rakers. Many bony fishes, including catfishes (Family Ictaluridae) are adapted for bottom feeding. A species' particular mouth shape and teeth are adapted to accommodate a particular diet.
