The increasing need to account for the many factors that influence fish population dynamics,
particularly those external to the population, has led to repeated calls for an ecosystem …

Fish exhibit tremendous diversity in feeding habits and the morphologies associated with
feeding. A recent book (Gerking 1994) and various other overviews of fish feeding exist …

Ontogenetic diet shifts are a widespread phenomenon among vertebrates, although their
