| Description | Densities of dominant macroinvertebrates declined in profundal and pelagic regions but not in littoral regions of Lake Lenore, Washington, after introduction of cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarki, Chaoborus flavicans, Hyalella azteca, and Callibaetis sp. composed over 90% of cutthroat trout diets, and these prey taxa showed the greatest response to the introduction.
