Daily ration, feeding periodicity and prey selection of sauger (Stizostedion canadense) in the Ohio River
… 1.1% of the body weight per day. Growth and daily ration were high from August to January (maximum in October) and low from March to July. Rapid growth and high food consumption throughout the fall and early winter relate to the extended period of high temperatures and increased availability …

Effects of drifting prey abundance on food consumption and growth of brook trout in Shenandoah National Park
… if slow growth in the summer was caused by low daily rations or other factors. Daily consumption was estimated in May, July and September of 1989, for four streams in Shenandoah National Park. Sampling was performed at 6-hour intervals over 24 hours. Adult and yearling trout did not consume more …

The Impact of Altered Diet Presentation on Time Budget of Research Housed Rhesus Macaques (Macaca Mulatta)
… to accessing dietary resources to meet their daily caloric need. Standard diet presentation for research-housed rhesus macaques involves placement of the nutritionally complete diet in an open feeder hung on the front portion of the enclosure. The goal of this project was to place a modified …

Feeding Ecology of Invasive Catfishes in Chesapeake Bay Subestuaries
… as Channel Catfish Ictalurus punctatus, and daily ration is estimated to be 2-5% bodyweight per day during warm temperatures, while peak feeding (maximum daily ration) can approach 10% bodyweight per day. While consumption of imperiled species is rare, Blue Catfish could still have negative …

Food Habits and Biology of Stonerollers (Campostoma) in Southwest Missouri
… food habits, population ratio, and taxonomic separation of two sympatric species of stoneroller minnows, Campostoma oligolepis and C. anomalum pullum, were investigated in Southwest Missouri. The only food habit difference between the species was the larger amount (x=5%) of inorganic matter …

Effects of Differences in Dietary Protein and Varying the Interval from Collection of Bovine Embryos to Freezing on Embryo Quality and Viability
… to receive one of three experimental diets: a daily ration of 5.7 kg poultry litter, 2.0 kg hay, 3.1 kg corn, and 0.5 kg peanut hulls (LITTER; n = 15); a daily ration of 6.2 kg peanut hulls, 2.2 kg soybean meal, 2.0 kg hay, 0.5 kg corn, and 0.4 kg dicalcium phosphate (SBM; n = 15); or a daily …

Influence of Diet and Environmental Variation on Physiological Responses of Juvenile Pallid Sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus)
… number of recovery efforts such as habitat restoration, population assessment, a comprehensive sturgeon research program and a propagation program to mitigate the decline of pallid sturgeon. Stocking of hatchery raised pallid sturgeon has been an important short-term recovery effort for the …
