- 01 Jan 1992 - 
TL;DR: It would appear that in order to optimize the aquisition of food under different turbidity conditions fishes have the ability to change their feeding strategies.

Gamete production, somatic growth and multiple-locus enzyme heterozygosity inMytilus edulis

P. G. Rodhouse, +3 more
- 01 Jun 1986 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that the higher scope for growth of more heterozygous bivalves is translated into allocation of energy to somatic growth during early life and into gamete production in later life, which may explain why the correlation between growth rate and heterozygosity in bivalve is manifested most clearly when young individuals are examined.

Poor Growth of Rainbow Trout Fed New Zealand Mud Snails Potamopyrgus antipodarum

Mark R. Vinson, +1 more
- 01 Jun 2008 - 
TL;DR: A laboratory 15N tracer study, a laboratory feeding study, and bioenergetics modeling with rainbow trout showed that rainbow trout consumed and to a lesser extent assimilated NZMSs, and rainbow trout fed 15N-labeledNZMSs had muscle isotopic signatures that were 80% higher than those of fish fed unlabeled Kiwi mud snail and 30% lower than thoseof fish fed 15 N- labeled amphipods.

A. D. Ansell, +1 more
- 11 Apr 1980 - 
TL;DR: Comparisons with other published data reveal that the rate of growth of D. trunculus is similar throughout its range from Brittany to the Mediterranean Sea, while that ofD.
