“…However, increases in nutrients may also increase total biomass of phytoplankton, zooplankton, and benthic invertebrates, potentially providing more food for fish (Blumenshine et al., 1997; Elmgren, 1989; Rose et al., 2018; Smith et al., 1981). While past studies have evaluated the potential effects of hypoxia on fish growth (e.g., Almeida et al., 2017; Eby et al., 2005), horizontal and vertical distribution (e.g., Kraus et al., 2015; Ludsin et al., 2009), trophic interactions (e.g., Glaspie et al., 2019; Pihl, 1994; Shoji et al., 2005), recruitment (Hughes et al., 2015), and community composition (e.g., Howell & Simpson, 1994; Ludsin et al., 2001), most have only considered effects of hypoxia and ignored the potential benefits of coincident prey increases (however, see Adamack et al., 2017; Rose et al., 2018).…”
