Abstract Knowledge of the foraging ecology of fishes is fundamental both to understanding
the processes that function at the individual, population and community levels, and for the …

Many fish species are zooplanktivorous at the onset of exogenous feeding, but distinct shifts
in their foraging biology may occur with development. This study investigated the food and …

In the River Great Ouse, 0+ roach, bream, chub, bleak and gudgeon were each divided into
three 'ecospecies' on the basis of their morphology: young larvae, old larvae and juveniles …

Fish larvae require high densities of appropriately sized prey items for their survival and
recruitment. It has been widely assumed that inundated floodplains are the major source of …

The early life of fishes is marked by rapid development when individuals are thought to
optimise their success through ontogeny by altering ecological niches and resources. Since …

Using graphical and statistical methods, I demonstrate that significantly higher numbers of
0+ fish were observed in off‐channel water bodies than in the regulated, channelized River …

To address the scarcity of information on species‐environment relationships of fish larvae
and 0+ juveniles in regulated rivers, point abundance sampling by electrofishing was used …

The relative importance of taxa‐and size‐specific prey selection, and the influence of gape
on the prey consumed by the larvae and 0+ year juveniles of four fish species were …

Results from artificial flow channels showed that the ability of 0 group roach (Rutilus rutilus)
and dace (Leuciscus leuciscus) to hold station was positively related to fish length and water …

To document diet shifts, predator-prey relations and niche characteristics during early
ontogeny, we examined the diet of age-0 nase based on the food availability. The study was …
