Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 44, No. 3, Pg. 21:
Adult right whales eat about 1 billion copepods a day, or about 2,000 pounds of food. Copepods aggregate in dense patches in the ocean. Whales swim through the patches with their mouths open, trapping the fat-packed crustaceans in their baleen.
