| When at sea, they eat zooplankton and other small creatures that rise to the surface at convergence zones. |
| According to our results, predation on zooplankton appears to continue beyond larval life stages in the Richibucto Estuary. |
| If preferred prey species are not present at these depths, lake trout may then resort to feeding on zooplankton and invertebrates. |
| These species are small-bodied, cold water species that are generalist feeders on planktivorous zooplankton and benthic organisms. |
| They typically eat insects and floating vegetable matter but their diet also includes zooplankton, aquatic insect larvae, and worms. |
| As a result, increased amounts of surface algae left unconsumed by the zooplankton could potentially lead to algal blooms and poor water quality. |
