Atlantic cod was a top-tier predator, along with haddock, flounder and hake, feeding upon smaller prey, such as herring, capelin, shrimp, and snow crab. [16] With the large predatory fish removed, their prey have had population explosions and have become the top predators, affecting the survival rates of cod eggs and fry.
Atlantic cod was a top-tier predator, along with haddock, flounder and hake, feeding upon smaller prey such as herring, capelin, shrimp and snow crab. [7] With the large predatory fish removed, their prey has had a population explosion and have become the top predators.
Many studies that analyze the stomach contents of these fish indicate that cod is the top predator, preying on the herring and sprat. [46] Sprat form particularly high concentrations in the Bornholm Basin in the southern Baltic Sea. [47] Although cod feed primarily on adult sprat, sprat tend to prey on the cod eggs and larvae. [48]
The Murray cod is the apex aquatic predator in the rivers of the Murray-Darling basin, [3] and will eat almost anything smaller than itself, including finned fishes such as smaller Murray cod, golden perch, silver perch, bony bream, eel-tailed catfish, western carp gudgeon, and Australian smelt and introduced fish such as carp, goldfish, and ...
Forage fish are the food that sustains larger predators above them in the ocean food chain. The superabundance they present in their schools make them ideal food sources for top predator fish such as tuna, striped bass, cod, salmon, barracuda and swordfish, as well as sharks, whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals, sea lions, and seabirds.

“We have observed species shifts in distribution and mismatches in prey and predators, which have contributed to declines in some species like Pacific cod in the Gulf of Alaska,” Robert Foy ...
Cod stocks were depleted at a faster rate than could be replenished. [4] The trawlers also caught enormous amounts of non-commercial fish, which were economically unimportant but very important ecologically. This incidental catch undermined the stability of the ecosystem by depleting stocks of important predator and prey species.
