Morphology dependent foraging efficiency in perch: a trade-off for ecological specialization?

Article Abstract:

The trade-offs in foraging efficiency and growth in a polymorphic perch population are described. The efficiency of perch with different morphology feeding on pelagic (Daphnia sp., Chaoborus sp.) and littoral (mayfly larvae) food resources is examined.
