 | | The triangular trophic interactions between mysids, planktivorous fish, and zooplankton were examined by determining the portion of zooplankton biomass consumed by fish and mysids (direct effects) and the impact that the presence of predators has on the potential consumption of zooplankton by mysids (indirect effects). |
 | | Models developed for acoustically determining mysid abundance and for predicting mysid diel vertical migration were used in conjunction with bioenergetics and functional response models to estimate the consumption of zooplankton by mysids. |
 | | Although, mysids displayed a preference for a relatively narrow range of light and temperature conditions, their vertical distribution was found to be determined predominately by the position of the thermocline in the water column. |
