The Nature of Prey Selection by Planktivorous Fish
Abstract
The nature of prey selection by planktivorous fish is presented as a model. The model conceptualization is based on the predation cycle, and the effects of prey distribution, encounter rate, handling time, capture success, and optimal foraging on food selection are explicit. The model as presented assumes a multiple species prey assemblage admitting within—species size variation. Conditions are given so that the optimal strategy of prey utilization can be expressed as a breadth of diet, and the specific components of the predator—prey interaction of fish and zoo plankton are discussed in detail. A reduced form of model is applied to two experimental situations. Specific factors which influence prey selection are also discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
