Sockeye Salmon, unlike the other species of Pacific Salmon,
feed almost exclusively on plankton. They are able to
do this as a result of their many gill rakers, which strain
the plankton from the water. It is speculated that this
diet is the reason for the striking hue of their flesh.
They also tend to feed on small aquatic organisms such
as shrimp.
