According to logistic regressions derived for pike Esox lucius and burbot Lota lota , the probability of ingesting fishes in Lake Muddusjärvi, northern Finland, was 50% at 19·3 and 22·1 cm L T , whereas Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus and brown trout Salmo trutta shifted to piscivory at the lengths...
