Effects of changes in alternative prey densities on predation of drifting lake sturgeon larvae (Acipenser fulvescens)
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...
