Relationships between predation and growth rates of fish fry (Rutilus rutilus) in the littoral zone of Lake Aydat (France)

Summary

The present study is part of an investigation in relation to food conditions and prédation rates by fish fry (Rutilus rutilus) from April to September 1988 in Lake Aydat. Correlation between size frequency distribution and four stations in the littoral zone showed different growth rates of fish fry in relation to succession patterns and species composition of the zooplankton in the lake.
