Megamouth sharks primarily feed on plankton, such as copepods, krill, and small shrimp. Although these tiny prey animals tend to drift with ocean currents, they are able to swim toward the ocean’s surface at night and downward in the water column during the day. Megamouth sharks follow them on their daily migrations to prey on them when they can. Megamouth sharks also consume jellyfish and small bony fishes.
