I would imagine that most fox, coon, opossum, etc, will take a dead fish and eat it elsewhere, away from the competition.

FWIW, in growout raceways, you'd better have solid soles on your boots, because other tilapia will eat dead fish, and kill weak ones, leaving only the largest of bones behind. Rarely have I seen rib bones or even vertebrae that are under 1/2"-3/4" in diameter.
