| Description | We examined the effect of large (potentially piscivorous) lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) on the dietary habits of small lake trout in an arctic lake. We hypothesized that large lake trout constrain the foraging of small lake trout, thus, in the absence of large lake trout, small lake trout will shift their diet from littoral to more abundant prey offshore. We tested this hypothesis using samples from a removal experiment where all lake trout large enough to be susceptible to gill nets were... |
