Food Habits
Tecuxis are carnivorous, and primary prey includes marine ray-finned fishes, along with squids and octopuses. Confluence areas result in favorable pH levels for plankton growth, which attracts many species of ray-finned fish. As a result, Tucuxis are often seen travelling to confluences, likely in search of prey.
Animal Foods: fish; mollusks
Primary Diet: carnivore (Piscivore , Molluscivore )
