Humans can live on fish-based diets, as can their carnivorous domesticated pets such as dogs and cats. The ecological effects of piscivores can extend to other food chains. In a study of cutthroat trout stocking, researchers found that the addition of this piscivore can have noticeable effects on non-aquatic organisms, in this case bats feeding ...
Populations of large predatory fish in the global oceans were estimated to be about 10% of their pre-industrial levels by 2003, [1] and they are most at risk of extinction; there was a disproportionate level of large predatory fish extinctions during the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event 66 million years ago.

The California sheephead is a carnivorous, epibenthic reef fish, foraging mostly in the daytime in sand-rock reef habitats. [13] Its feeding territories are very productive and allow individuals to occupy small, permanent, economically defendable home ranges. [16]
Adult carnivorous lampreys are the most well-known species, and feed by boring into the flesh of other fish (or in rare cases marine mammals) to consume flesh and/or blood; [9] but only 18 species of lampreys engage in this predatory lifestyle [10] [11] (with Caspiomyzon suggested to feed on carrion rather than live prey [9]).
Some carnivorous and omnivorous farmed fish species are fed wild forage fish. Although carnivorous farmed fish represented only 13 percent of aquaculture production by weight in 2000, they represented 34 percent of aquaculture production by value. [101] Farming of carnivorous species like salmon and shrimp leads to a high demand for forage fish ...
