Title Effects of Changes in Alternative Prey Densities on Predation of Drifting Lake Sturgeon Larvae (Acipenser fulvescens)
Creator Waraniak, Justin Valentine, Shaley Scribner, Kim
Description Predator–prey interactions including prey switching, predator swamping, and size-selectivity are important in maintaining multi-species systems. In fishes, early life stages are often recruitment bottlenecks due to high mortality partially caused by predation. High mortality is of particular concern for threatened species such as lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens). Effects of different relative prey densities were examined using two predatory fishes [rock bass (Ambloplites rupestris) and...
