  2. Aquarium fish feeder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquarium_fish_feeder

    Fish feeders are usually clamped to the wall of the tank just over the water. Most designs consist of a hopper which is loaded with a variety of dry food, a timer which rotates the hopper at regular intervals (dispensing food in the process), and a method of setting the interval between feeding and the amount of food dispensed.

  3. Aquatic feeding mechanisms - Wikipedia

    The expansion phase involves the initial opening of the jaws to capture prey. These movements during the expansion phase are similar across all suction feeders with the kinesis of the skull leading to slight variations. During the compression phase, the jaws close and water is compressed out of the gills.

  4. Gill raker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gill_raker

    Rakers are widely varied in number, spacing, and form. By preventing food particles from exiting the spaces between the gill arches, they enable the retention of food particles in filter feeders. [1] The structure and spacing of gill rakers in fish determines the size of food particles trapped, and correlates with feeding behavior.

  5. Feeder fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feeder_fish

    Guppies are a common example of feeder fish. Feeder fish is the common name for certain types of small, inexpensive fish commonly fed as live food to other captive animals such as predatory fishes (e.g. aquarium sharks, farmed salmon and tuna) or carnivorous aquarium fish (e.g. oscars, gar, grouper and rays), turtles, crocodilians and other piscivores that naturally hunt in fresh, brackish or ...

  6. Branchial arch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branchial_arch

    The branchial system is typically used for respiration and/or feeding. Many fish have modified posterior gill arches into pharyngeal jaws, often equipped with specialized pharyngeal teeth for handling particular prey items (long, sharp teeth in carnivorous moray eels compared to broad, crushing teeth in durophagous black carp).

    In the current technology, fish feed extruders play a key role in production lines. Although the majority of the process of the fish feed production occurs in the extruder, grinding and mixing can highly affect the quality of the final product. [14] Water is added and the resulting paste is extruded through holes in a metal plate. The diameter ...

  9. Filter feeder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter_feeder

    The basking shark is a passive filter feeder, filtering zooplankton, small fish, and invertebrates from up to 2,000 tons of water per hour. [6] Unlike the megamouth and whale sharks, the basking shark does not appear to actively seek its quarry; but it does possess large olfactory bulbs that may guide it in the right direction.
