The effect of depth on the interaction between perch (Perca fluviatilis) and minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus)

We tested the hypothesis that small fishes avoid piscivores by increasing their use of shallow water areas, thereby reducing the capture success of the piscivore. Experiments were conducted in 600‐1 aquaria, using perch (Perca fluviatilis) as the piscivore and minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus) as the prey....
