BIG Bigmouth Buffalo fish! These native freshwater planktivores can live for over 100 years!
We caught, fin-clipped, released several during yesterday’s @garlab.bsky.social native fishes survey!

In the same way that granivores are a subtype of herbivores, planktivores are a subtype of omnivores/faunivores. It’s all just increasingly narrow categories that makes it easier to compare and discuss in the literature!

Ever since Charles Darwin, scientists have assumed species facing the same problem often evolve similar traits. But that’s not always the case.

The research will focus on quantifying pelagic ~ reef pathways that move through reef fishes (planktivores and mobile consumers), requiring expertise in oceanography, stable isotope techniques, and community ecology.

A study led by hannah-rempel.bsky.social found that Caribbean parrotfishes + surgeonfishes regularly eat fish poop, especially that of planktivores! When compared with their food sources, these feces may be a rich nutrient supplement–a fish "vitamin sea"! 🌊 💩

That's very surprising, aren't they planktivores like June suckers? Impressive catch.

Altered diversity patterns are characterised by heterogeneous changes in reef fish trophic groups across the latitudinal gradient with reductions
in omnivores, planktivores, and herbivores in the northern GBR, and increases in the southern regions.

Well, planktivores just gives more information, like insectivores are carnivores (sort of) but only or mainly eating insects. Though of course they'd eat other arthropods too.

On the 4th day of #Carpmas, Bighead Carp outcompeted and caused decreased population sizes of native planktivores. species such as Alewife, Bloater, Cisco and Rainbow Smelt.
This will impact predatory fishes which consume those species: Yellow Perch, Lake Trout, Walleye, Large and Smallmouth Bass.
