Impact TypeOther Ecological Benefits
Study TypeAnecdotal
Study LocationN/A
Impact DescriptionIt is possible that Cercopagis pengoi (fishhook flea) could benefit planktivorous fish by preying on smaller zooplankton, which are difficult for fish to catch, and storing this energy in a larger body mass, which is easier for fish to prey upon. However, this potential benefit is likely insignificant.
