The Diet of a Swordfish

in #ocean7 years ago

While it is known that swordfish feed on squids from small to large, they also eat some very interesting creatures in the depths of the ocean. This swordfish below had many squids including a fairly large on the top left. There was also pieces of a lancetfish which is the long slender fish on the right edge of the dock.
