Diet Analysis of Burbot from Eastern Lake Michigan: 1999-2012
… in the lake. I used a collection (1999-2012) of diet samples from burbot from eastern Lake Michigan to evaluate temporal alterations in burbot diet with particular attention to non-native vs. native forage. Catch per unit effort (burbot/net · day) decreased from a high of 5.82 burbot/net · day (± …

Diet analysis of wintering waterfowl in the Southeastern United States in relation to ecoregion, habitat, and guild
Wintering waterfowl diet has been studied across North America to gain a better understanding of their foraging habits and feeding ecology. There is a need for a better understanding of waterfowl foraging based on ecoregion, guild, and habitats of wintering waterfowl, especially within the …

The impacts of stocking stress and largemouth bass predation on the survivorship of juvenile striped bass stocked in Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia
… put-grow-take striped bass fishery. Empiric analysis of striped bass stocking has shown an inverse relationship between number of fingerling striped bass stocked and survival to age 1. Potential causes for this inverse relationship include largemouth bass predation on fingerling striped bass …

Summer wolf diet in northwestern Montana
Wolf (Canis lupus) diet can be estimated from undigested remains of prey in scats or through stable isotope analysis (SIA) of wolf hair when distinct δ13C and δ15N values of potential diet sources are known. Our objectives were to compare diet analysis methods, to estimate intra-population diet …

Contemporary Assessment of Benthic Macroinvertebrates and Fish Interaction in the Truckee River, NV
… native and non-native fishes were examined. Diet analysis revealed younger age-class salmonid diets significantly overlap as species selected similar prey items. A bioenergetics model predicted brown trout, the top predator in the system, could potentially consume up to 60% of the resident …
