Comparison of Bluegill Consumption Rates by Largemouth Bass and Sunshine Bass in Structured and Nonstructured Artificial Environments
—We compared consumption rates of bluegills Lepomis macrochirus by largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides and sunshine bass (female white bass Morone chrysops 3 male striped bass M. saxatilis) in structured (about 50% coverage with artificial vegetation) and nonstructured 2,000-L fiberglass tanks. In the presence of structure, instantaneous bluegill mortality from consumption by largemouth bass ...
متن کاملUse of sonomicrometry demonstrates the link between prey capture kinematics and suction pressure in largemouth bass.
Suction feeding in fishes is the result of a highly coordinated explosive expansion of the buccal cavity that results in a rapid drop in pressure. Prey are drawn into the mouth by a flow of water that is generated by this expansion. At a gross level it is clear that the expansion of the buccal cavity is responsible for the drop in pressure. However, attempts using high-speed video recordings to...
متن کاملThe stochastic interactions between predator and prey under Markovian switching: competitive interaction between multiple prey
In this paper, a class of predator-prey model with prey competition is proposed, in which the interactions of predation between predator and prey are randomised and subsequently evaluated under Markovian switching. By constructing appropriate Lyapunov functions and applying various analytical methods, sufficient conditions for the existence of unique global positive solution, stochastic permane...
متن کاملThe Effects of Turbidity on Prey Selection by Piscivorous Largemouth Bass
—Turbidity in aquatic systems can change rapidly, affecting the visual ability of predators. Increased turbidity is known to reduce the reactive distance and foraging success of some planktivores and insectivores, leading to decreased growth rates. However, little is known about the effects of turbidity on prey selection by piscivores. We examined the interactions between largemouth bass Microp...
متن کاملAdmixture Analysis of Florida Largemouth Bass and Northern Largemouth Bass using Microsatellite Loci
—Microsatellite DNA variation was examined at 11 loci in five populations of Florida largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides floridanus (N 1⁄4 175) and eight populations of northern largemouth bass M. s. salmoides (N 1⁄4 249). Distinct allele frequencies with 33 private alleles between subspecies (threshold frequency, 0.05) and 19 private alleles among three geographic regions distinguished betwe...
