| Title | Energetics, Predation, and Ration Affect Size-dependent Growth and Mortality of Fish during Winter |
| Creator | Garvey, James E Ostrand, Kenneth G Wahl, David H |
| Description | Winter temperatures may reduce energy costs for ectotherms. However, variable mid-temperate and low-latitude winters may interact with scaling of size, metabolism, and energy reserves to cause energy deficits and require trade-offs between foraging and predation. A dynamic optimization model explored how ration, fall fat, and both non- and size-selective predation influenced foraging (i.e., fast or forage) and energy allocation (i.e., length or fat) decisions that maximize winter survival of... |
