Individual variation in competitive performance of juvenile cod and its consequences for growth
This communication reports on experiments, which studied the variation in competitive performance of juvenile cod ( Gadus morhua L.) and their growth rates. The fish were held in groups of five in either summer or winter conditions and tested for their individual response to prey offered sequentiall...
