What do baby fish eat?

Zooplankton are small, drifting organisms that live in the water column. They include a wide variety of animals, such as copepods, water fleas, rotifers, and protozoans. Zooplankton are an important food source for many fish, including baby fish.

Zooplankton are found in all types of aquatic environments, from fresh water to salt water. They are most abundant in the upper layers of the water, where there is more light and food.

Baby fish eat zooplankton by filtering the water through their gills. The zooplankton are trapped on the gills and then swallowed.

Zooplankton are an important food source for baby fish because they are small, easy to catch, and nutritious. They provide baby fish with the protein, vitamins, and minerals they need to grow.
