Sea bass typically hunt by waiting in ambush and then darting out to capture their prey. They use their sharp teeth to grasp and hold their prey, and then swallow it whole.
Some of the specific foods that sea bass eat include:
* Fish: anchovies, sardines, herring, mackerel, and other small fish
* Crustaceans: shrimp, crabs, and lobsters
* Mollusks: clams, mussels, and squid
* Other invertebrates: worms, sea urchins, and starfish
Sea bass are also known to eat other sea bass, as well as their own young.
The diet of sea bass can vary depending on the species and the environment in which they live. For example, some sea bass that live in coral reefs may eat a higher proportion of crustaceans and mollusks, while those that live in open water may eat more fish.
