| Title | Diel Migrations of a Zooplanktivorous Fish (Menidia beryllina) in Relation to the Distribution of its Prey in a Large Eutrophic Lake |
| Creator | Wurtsbaugh, Wayne A. Li, H. |
| Description | Diel changes in the distribution of the tidewater silverside ( Menidia beryllina) and its prey were measured in Clear Lake, California, a large, shallow, eutrophic lake. Zooplankton prey densities were low in the littoral zone, but increased rapidly to near peak abundances 50-200 m from shore. Gill netting, trawling, and visual observations showed that tidewater silversides migrated both horizontally and vertically to feed in areas of high zooplankton abundance. At night the fish concentrated... |
