what the fish eat...
well, i was hoping that by enabling the comments that people would try to guess what the fish eat based upon the mouth shape and the type of teeth it had. i thought since i wasn't in the field right now and it's not as exciting for me to be doing the data analysis and the labwork (although i have been photodocumenting that and still waiting for the other computer becasue i don't have any programs on my mini mac to edit them) i thought i would try to make the blog a little more interactive.
so, try to guess what those two fish eat and how they catch it. you don't have to get too specific, like what species, etc. think of things in general terms like: octopus, squid, other fish, crabs, shrimp, plankton, etc. and then think about the evolutionary (NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT INTELLIGENTLY DESIGNED!!!!!!!@#$%^&*&^%$#@!#$%^) significance of certain adaptations and some related species have similar features...
and if that's not entertaining enough, then maybe i'll post a sodoku puzzle or something... hee
and then i will post the answers to what the fish eat...

Hey, you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!
I have a relocating to site. It pretty much covers relocating to related stuff.
Come and check it out if you get time :)
mail order bribes??!!
wtf are you doing posting on this blog?
we don't need no spam on this site.
I think teeth like that have to be able to crunch things, so my vote is for shellfish.
Why is he called a sheepshead? He doesn't look like a sheep? I bet he doesn't act like a sheep. Does he sound like a sheep?
Baaaaaaaaaaaa!
su
fish eat fish.
whatdoiget?
OK, since you told me my first guess for the jawfish was wrong (although I'm sure its been done at some time) I will guess that the jawfish eats plakton. The sheepshead, which looks nothing like a sheep, I'll guess eats shellfish. It has teeth that look like they are for breaking things open.
Lou A
so, WHAT do fishies eat?
my russian wife and i want to know.
well, Lou A is closest. the jawfish eats benthic and planktonic invertebrates. the large gape on him allows him to suck in his prey simply by opening his mouth which creates a vacuum.
the sheepshead eats stuff like crabs, hermit crabs, urchins...so yes, the teeth are for grabbing mobile things and CRUSHING THEM! hee
it's hard to hear the "baaaa" underwater
WHERE'S MY CLAMS?
