==Diet== Halibut feed on almost any fish or animal they can fit into their mouths. Juvenile halibut feed on small crustaceans and other bottom-dwelling organisms. Animals found in their stomachs include [[sand lance]], octopus, crab, salmon, [[hermit crab]]s, [[lamprey]], [[sculpin]], [[cod]], [[pollock]], [[herring]], and [[flounder]], as well as other halibut. Halibut live at depths ranging from a few meters to hundreds of meters, and although they spend most of their time near the bottom,<ref name=pittsburghpress/> halibut may move up in the [[water column]] to feed. In most ecosystems, the halibut is near the top of the marine [[food chain]]. In the North Pacific, common predators are sea lions, [[killer whale]]s, [[salmon shark]]s and [[humans]].
