Estimation of Functional Responses of Predators on Juvenile Salmon

Several studies have shown that predators can eat large portions (up to 85%) of emerging salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) fry populations. To understand salmon population dynamics and the effect of salmon enhancement projects, it is necessary to determine how present predation mortality varies with prey d...
