Pointed 
It is normally use for stabbing its prey. 
Example: deep sea anglerfish don't always encounter suitable prey so they have large mouth and very sharp pointed teeth to help facilitate capturing and swallowing any prey they can find.

2. comb-like
It is used for scraping food particles/matter from rocks 
Example: combtooth blenny used its teeth to scrape algae or organic matter from rocks/hard substrates. 

3. heavy and flat, molar like 
This set of teeth is normally used for grinding food. 
Example: Chimaera have 3 pairs of large permanent grinding tooth plates to help grind food with shells like crabs or mollusks. 

4. fused like a beak 
Like the comb-like teeth this set of teeth is also used to scrape hard materials off rocks. 
Example: Parrot fish have 2 front teeth fused together, enabling them to scrape and bite off chunks of coral to extract algae. 

5. incisors-like 
It is used to cut/shred up prey.
Example: Piranha fish have a powerful bite as their teeth help them shred the flesh of their prey

6. broom-like 
This set of teeth is mainly used for filtering of food. 
Example: Whale shark have a large mouth with 5000 teeth, which help them to draw large amount of water with copious amount of tiny creatures like plankton or shrimps for them to feed on. 

7. serrated 
It is mainly used to tear up the flesh of prey.
Example: Great White Shark's teeth is longer than 5cm, it is triangular and serrated which is designed to help them tear off chunks of flesh from prey. ]]> 2023-07-10 02:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/fishermant05/mmgnq1efgk1sqrsl/wish/2641397081 https://padlet.com/fishermant05/mmgnq1efgk1sqrsl/wish/2641398288 1. jawless
Adaptation: scavenging/parasitic behavior 
Example: Lampreys lack of jaw which help them to suck and cling onto fishes like parasites 

2. tweezer-like 
Adaptation: poking into crevices  
Example: butterfly fish have thin tweezer-like mouth which is helpful for them to capture prey that is hiding in small cracks. 

3. suction tube 
Adaptation: slurping/sucking prey 
Example: seahorses have a long tube like mouth, they are ambush predators that create a vacuum that sucks their prey into their mouth. They usually feed on small crustaceans.

4. large mouth 
Adaptation: swallowing large prey  
Example: groupers eat anything and tend to swallow their prey whole. 

5. beak-like teeth
Adaptation: biting hard objects 
Example: Parrot fish can crunch up hard objects like corals 

6. Tiny and turned up
Adaptation: capture plankton 
Example: Plantivorous fish attack visible plankton, they have very large eyes which help them to see and feed on planktonic prey.

- Better suited for the search of sparsely distributed prey that are mobile

(watch video starting at the 2:04 mark for Dorado leap and Marlin in hot pursuit)

Common characteristics of pursuit predators are such that: 
-> they have sustained speed and maneuverability from their streamlined body
-> the ability to swim fast, have high reactivity
-> round bodies and tails with high aspect ratio (less drag where tail length over surface area is high)
-> greatest body depth is one-third away from the head

Examples: Tuna, marlin and sharks ]]> 2023-07-10 02:41:24 UTC https://padlet.com/fishermant05/mmgnq1efgk1sqrsl/wish/2641417235 fishermant05 https://padlet.com/fishermant05/mmgnq1efgk1sqrsl/wish/2641422072 - ambush prey when it is in approachable distance
- bust forth to catch prey rapidly and securely before the prey can react
- requires perfectly/carefully timed strikes
- need to detect -> access if prey is worth attacking -> strike when prey is in the right place
- capturing movement is rapid to trap the prey as they direction of attack cannot be changed once launched

Example(s):
Deep-sea tripodfish
- uses tactile & mechanosensory cues to identify food in its low light environment
Pantherfish
- uses bioluminescent organs to attract prey towards it

Consists of pike-like predators
- elongated, flexible bodies
- long snouts with sharp & thin teeth
- Broad and symmetrical median fins in the far back of the body opposite to one another
- Relatively large caudal fins with low aspect ratio
- Low body profile evoke slower response by prey

- Lying in wait with crypsis (camouflage *blending into the background through posture or coloration, hiding in physical structure *rock crevices or subterranean burrows, or employ aggressive mimicry *to not resemble a predator)
- Better suited for dense distribution of prey that are mobile

Common characteristics of ambush predators are such that:
-> they have fast speed (elongated and flexible bodies), but lack sustained speed and maneuverability
-> the ability to strike accurately
-> symmetrical median fins located far towards the rear of the body directly opposite one another
-> relatively large caudal fin with low aspect ratio (more drag, but generates more power with quick bursts, as it catches more water)
-> low body profile that evokes slower response by prey

Structural adaptations: long snout with many sharp teeth that are often thin

Examples: Needlefishes, gars, pikes, barracudas, Moray eels, seahorses, and specialized fish in the families of characins and cichlids]]> 2023-07-10 02:58:48 UTC https://padlet.com/fishermant05/mmgnq1efgk1sqrsl/wish/2641437689 https://padlet.com/fishermant05/mmgnq1efgk1sqrsl/wish/2641440952 1. Detection - search and find prey via sensory cues
2. Pursuit - initiate attack & pursue prey
3. Capture - secure prey
4. Handle/consumption - final step; eating the prey]]> 2023-07-10 03:01:28 UTC https://padlet.com/fishermant05/mmgnq1efgk1sqrsl/wish/2641440952 fishermant05 https://padlet.com/fishermant05/mmgnq1efgk1sqrsl/wish/2641444434 - Characterized by engagement in high speed chases with rapid accelerations and sharp changes in direction in response to prey evasion
- More streamlined body for faster swimming
- High reactivity and engagement in constant estimation of prey movements
- Round bodies and tails with high aspect ratio. (Greatest body depth 1/3 away from head)
- Some are group pursuers (e.g. dolphins and killer whales) and some are individual pursuers
- Group hunting is comparatively rarer in fish

2. Assess - prompts pursuit

4. Handle - capturing, killing, removing of shells, etc -> consumption

- Able to regrow lost teeth ensures that prey will always be less likely to escape. 

- Special receptors that detect electromagnetic fields to find hidden prey and

- Countershading to be less detectable from both above and below to close the distance needed to chase their prey.

2. Olfactory bulb
3. Ears
4. Lateral line
5. Ampullae of Lorenzini

Eyes (vision):
Marine predators have complex and rapid eye-motor coordination that helps them in finding and capturing prey
- Some elasmobranchs (sharks, skates) and most teleost fishes (catfish, gobiidae, salmonoids), have colour vision
Example:
Octopuses have movable lens in their eyes that allows quicker focus on moving prey

Olfactory bulb (smell):
- Odour detection: Marine predators like sharks have an olfactory bulb that can detect soluble chemical substances released by their prey
Example:
Sharks have nares (nostrils) that help them sniff out prey or their potential mates

Ears (hearing):
Fish only have inner ears. Bony fishes can detect vibrations through their otoliths ("earstones")
Example:
Marine predators like dolphins emit sound waves and receive returning echoes to detect the location of their prey

Lateral lines:
The lateral line organ (LLO) is a system of sensory organs that can be found in fish that is used to detect vibration and pressure gradients in the surrounding water
Example:
The lateral line of a shark can sense tiny vibrations in the water

Ampullae of Lorenzini (electroreception):
The ampullae of Lorenzini are sensory organs that allows sharks to electrical fields created by prey
Example:
Hammerhead sharks have an increased ampullae sensitivity to find its prey (especially stingrays) that bury themselves under the sand

2. Teeth

Jaws: 
Many predators have jaws and muscular structures that enables them to create a partial vacuum to suck prey into their mouth - terminal protrusible mouth (created by a pressure difference)
- This can be seen in some aquatic predators such fishes, sharks and whales

Teeth:
- Have teeth/claws to secure prey
Example:
Moray eel have sharp teeth that are curved backwards that prevents prey from being able to back out from the eel's mouth. They also have pharyngeal jaws (2nd set of teeth) that can lunge forward to grab its prey and swallow it
