“…In addition, other studies have shown a distinct bloom of zooplankton in the marine environment for this time of year (Sherman et al 1984;Turner 1994). The potential affect of changes in food availability on juvenile migration has also been hypothesized by Vigerstad and Cobb (1978) and Yako et al (2002).…”

“…Late migrators were older and larger than early migrators but had later hatch dates. Based on observed patterns of food availability (Vigerstad and Cobb 1978;Yako et al 2002) in other regional systems, late migrators may be faced with more favorable conditions in the nursery area in the later part of their development. This evidence would support a size maximizing strategy, as late migrators were in the nursery area for several months before migration commenced in November.…”

“…Landlocked alewives are considered both an archetypal size-selective predator (Brooks and Dodson 1965) and a putative keystone species (Power et al 1996), and therefore, phenotypic differences between anadromous and landlocked populations could strongly affect the ecological role of alewives in lakes. Landlocked alewives are known to structure zooplankton communities and regulate water quality in lakes across eastern North America (Brooks and Dodson 1965, Wells 1970, Eck and Wells 1987, Harman and Albright 2002, Madenjian et al 2002, Mills et al 2003, but little is known about the ecological role of anadromous alewives (but see Vigerstad andCobb 1978, Gregory et al 1983). The transition from an anadromous to a landlocked life history can produce considerable intraspecific variation (Hendry et al 2004) that may strongly affect the ecological role of alewives.…”

“…In contrast, there are few quantitative studies on the diets of anadromous populations. Feeding habits have been reported for juveniles during their freshwater phase (Burbidge 1974, Vigerstad & Cobb 1978, Gregory et al 1983) and for older, ocean-feeding fish (Holland & Yelverton 1973, Neves 1981, Vinogradov 1984, but the diet composition of co-occurring estuarine populations has received little attention (Leim & Scott 1966). This is a serious omission since estuaries serve as nursery and feeding areas for many fish species, particularly anadromous stocks (Haedrich & Hall 1976).…”
