- <meta content="The stomach contents of adult brown trout Salmo trutta from Lake Sorell, Tasmania, were
- analysed during 6 years of increasing turbidity to follow changes in the diet associated with
- dramatic changes in water clarity. Brown trout were sampled from 1996, when turbidity was 26
- NTU, to 2001 when turbidity was 141NTU. The mean relative volume of stomach contents
- decreased progressively to 2001, by which time it was only one sixth of that in 1996, and the mean
- diversity of prey in stomachs decreased from an average of more than six species per stomach in
- 1996 to one species in 2001. The species composition of stomach contents shifted from domination
- by the phreatoicid isopod Colubotelson sp., to the galaxiid fish Galaxias auratus and the
- amphipod Austrochiltonia australis, and then the cladoceran Daphnia carinata. To give an
- indication of diet changes over a typical yearly cycle in the current turbid state of the lake, a
- sample was taken from each season from December 2000 to September 2001. Two basic diets
- were found during the year; brown trout specialized on D. carinata in summer and autumn, and
- G. auratus in winter and spring. Mean diversity of prey was less than two species per stomach in
- all samples from 2000 to 2001, except for the sample from spring 2001 when it was 22 species per
- stomach, and the mean relative volume of stomach contents was more than three times greater in
- winter than any other season. The ways in which high turbidity may have influenced the changes
- in the brown trout diet observed since 1996 and the patterns evident during the seasons of
- 2000-2001 are discussed." name="eprints.abstract" />

- analysed during 6 years of increasing turbidity to follow changes in the diet associated with
- dramatic changes in water clarity. Brown trout were sampled from 1996, when turbidity was 26
- NTU, to 2001 when turbidity was 141NTU. The mean relative volume of stomach contents
- decreased progressively to 2001, by which time it was only one sixth of that in 1996, and the mean
- diversity of prey in stomachs decreased from an average of more than six species per stomach in
- 1996 to one species in 2001. The species composition of stomach contents shifted from domination
- by the phreatoicid isopod Colubotelson sp., to the galaxiid fish Galaxias auratus and the
- amphipod Austrochiltonia australis, and then the cladoceran Daphnia carinata. To give an
- indication of diet changes over a typical yearly cycle in the current turbid state of the lake, a
- sample was taken from each season from December 2000 to September 2001. Two basic diets
- were found during the year; brown trout specialized on D. carinata in summer and autumn, and
- G. auratus in winter and spring. Mean diversity of prey was less than two species per stomach in
- all samples from 2000 to 2001, except for the sample from spring 2001 when it was 22 species per
- stomach, and the mean relative volume of stomach contents was more than three times greater in
- winter than any other season. The ways in which high turbidity may have influenced the changes
- in the brown trout diet observed since 1996 and the patterns evident during the seasons of
- 2000-2001 are discussed.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" border="0" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Additional Information:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">The definitive version is available at www.blackwell-synergy.com</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Daphnia carinata, feeding, Galaxias auratus, Tasmanian lake, trophic adaptability.</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/270701.html">270000 Biological Sciences > 270700 Ecology and Evolution > 270701 Freshwater Ecology</a></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Collections:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">UNSPECIFIED</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ID Code:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">1598</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited By:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><span class="ep_name_citation"><span class="person_name">Mr Rick D.
