A review of cannibalism is presented with particular emphasis on the role that this
phenomenon plays in applied larviculture. Cannibalism is more ubiquitous than previously …

Better knowledge of food search behaviour in fish is essential for studies that aim to improve
longline fishing, particularly through bait development. This review provides an overview of …

Predators and food are the keys to understanding fish shoals; synchronised co-operation
defeats predators, and optimal food gathering in shoals reflects a shifting balance between …

Over the last three decades, many studies have attempted to explain forager diets by using
optimal diet theory (ODT). Despite some obvious successes, the utility of this theory remains …

Recent experiments have demonstrated the adaptive advantages of schooling behaviour
during predator defence. Fish in schools benefit from increased vigilance and, as a …

The northern pike (Esox lucius) is a selective and important predator in lake ecosystems.
Prey size in pike is limited by pike gape size, which is a linear function of pike body length …

An investigation of the predator-evasion behaviour of minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus) shoals
confronted with a pike (Esox lucius) showed that individual minnows generally chose the …

Northern pike (Esox lucius) are often considered to be specialist piscivores, but under some
circumstances will continue to eat invertebrates as adults. To examine effects of fish …

We documented differential vulnerability of fathead minnows Pimephales promelas, gizzard
shad Dorosoma cepedianum, and bluegills Lepomis macrochirus to predation by …

We tested the hypothesis that activity rates can represent a large and variable component of
a fish's energy budget. We executed five experiments between July 15 and August 2, 1991 …
