The fused teeth resembling a beak, enable the spotted knifejaw to prey on hard-shelled organism such as clams, sea urchins, and oysters. [5] Though there is limited research on specifics regarding dietary habits of the spotted knifejaw, past studies were known to suggest that they were primarily carnivorous fish due to their unique teeth structure.
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]

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.
