Abstract The behaviour of two benthic species, round goby ( Neogobius melanostomus ) and mottled sculpin Cottus bairdii ), were examined under natural relevant downwelling light during predatory attacks by Burbot Lota lota Smallmouth Bass Micropterus dolomieu ). Population declines have been observed for after invaded the Laurentian Great Lakes, but no data exist on prey avoidance behaviours success either species. activity levels species measured in presence absence predators.

Abstract Piscivorous fishes attack and consume a variety of prey; however, few studies have examined interactions multiple predators with prey species. The situational complexity foraging at different times day was explored by examining the paired native (Burbot Lota lota or Smallmouth Bass Micropterus dolomieu ) either (Mottled Sculpin Cottus bairdii invasive (Round Goby Neogobius melanostomus benthic prey. study allowed comparison pursuit predator (Smallmouth Bass) an ambush (Burbot)....
The round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is an invasive benthic fish first introduced to the Laurentian Great Lakes in 1990 that has negatively impacted native fishes through increased competition for food and habitat, aggressive interactions, egg predation. While complete eradication of currently not possible, intensive trapping designated areas during spawning seasons could potentially protect critical habitats. Baited minnow traps were spaced 10 meters apart shallow water along a 100-meter...
