The interplay of ontogeny and scaling in the interactions of fish larvae and their predators
In this review and synthesis, new data from field and laboratory experiments on red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus , larvae as prey to larger fishes are presented to illustrate two approaches to the study of developmental effects on predation. Various sizes and species of predatory fishes imposed very di...

In this review and synthesis, new data from field and laboratory experiments on red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus , larvae as prey to larger fishes are presented to illustrate two approaches to the study of developmental effects on predation.

Differences in predator size explained little of the overall variation in mortality rates. In the laboratory, responsiveness of red drum to a single size and species of predatory fish was relatively low through much of the developmental period but increased steadily. Response effectiveness improved and the predator's capture success decreased once the prey exceeded 20 mm in length. General ontogenetic trends in the behavioural interaction of various larvae and their piscine predators are described by combining 22 data sets on a scale of roughly comparable ontogenetic state.
