planktivorous /ˌplaŋkˈtɪv(ə)rəs /adjectiveFeeding on plankton: shad are planktivorous fish...- These regions of high productivity promote the development of plankton, which feeds planktivorous fish such as anchovies.
- In addition, a pair of antennal spines flare upon attack, transforming the larva into a prickly ball, difficult for small-mouthed planktivorous fishes to swallow.
- Altered light, temperature, and oxygen profiles in these brown-water lakes should reduce the foraging abilities of planktivorous fish and reduce predation on zooplankton and invertebrate predators such as Chaoborus.
