Bluegills play an important role in the food chain. They can serve as prey for larger muskies, walleyes, trout, bass, herons, kingfishers, snapping turtles and otters. Meanwhile Bluegills help keep crustacean and insect populations in ponds and lakes under control as they can eat up to six times their own weight in just one summer. Eat or be eaten.
