Foraging selectivity by larval yellow perch (Perca flavescens): implications for understanding recruitment in small and large lakes

Abstract: Growth and survivorship of larval yellow perch (Perca flavescens) have been examined in many systems but can conclusions from well-studied perch populations in smaller lakes be applied to populations in meso-oceanic systems like Lake Michigan, USA? Laboratory experiments were conducted with yellow perch (hatch to 35 mm total length) to develop an empirical selectivity function based on Chesson's α to describe larval diet as a function of changes in prey community composition. This function was used in an indiv… Show more

“…Because of their small size at hatch and correspondingly small mouth gape, providing the appropriate organisms for first feeding is critically important to success culturing yellow perch fingerlings. Published reports on larval yellow perch feeding indicate that rotifers, copepod nauplii and adult copepods are important initial food sources (Siefert 1972;Bremigan et al 2003;Fulford et al 2006). Hartleb (2003) found larval diet selection included benthic insects, ostracods and green algae, although the presence of green algae in the diet coincided with poor growth and high mortality.…”

“…The production of zooplankton is important to Great Lakes ecosystems, as zooplankton serve as a critical food resource to many fish species (Miller et al, 1990;O'Gorman et al, 1997;Fulford et al, 2006) and may also influence density and composition of phytoplankton (Makarewicz et al, 1998), which may in turn affect primary production and water clarity of the lakes (Scavia et al, 1986). Many species of zooplankton in the Laurentian Great Lakes, including cladocerans, calanoid copepods and cyclopoid copepods (Wells, 1960;McNaught and Hasler, 1966;Carter, 1969;Dorazio et al, 1987;Schulze and Brooks, 1987;Barbiero et al, 2000;Pangle et al, 2007), undergo diel vertical migration, a behavior that is general to zooplankton in freshwater and marine systems (DeMeester et al, 1998).…”

“…Cette espèce démontre une exceptionnelle plasticité dans la croissance, ces variations s'expliquant par des facteurs abiotiques et biotiques tels la température et l'abondance des proies (Carlander 1997, Craig 2000. Dans sa distribution la plus septentrionale, la mortalité hivernale peut influencer les populations de perchaude, les jeunes de l'année avec la meilleure croissance étant plus aptes à survivre à cette période de faible alimentation (Post & Evans 1989 , le succès d'alimentation, la croissance et la survie (Graeb et al 2004, Fulford et al 2006 ainsi que sur le transport des larves (Dettmers et al 2005).…”

“…Several studies have described the YOY yellow perch diet composition, but few of them used a species taxonomic resolution and none employed a multivariate approach (Hansen & Wahl 1981, Mills & Forney 1981, Mills et al 1984, Whiteside et al 1985, Post & McQueen 1988, Confer et al 1990, Wahl et al 1993, Graeb et al 2004, Fulford et al 2006). As showed by these studies conducted on southern populations, YOY yellow perch that feed on Daphnia tended to reach the higher growth rates (Noble 1975, Hansen & Wahl 1981, Mills & Forney 1981, Mills et al 1989, Schael et al 1991.…”
