Young bluegills eat mainly zooplankton, but as they grow older, they become opportunistic and devour almost anything that fits into their mouths. |
Coleoidea, Crustaceans, nudibranch mollusks and polychaete worms make up a large part of the larger zooplankton. |
According to our results, predation on zooplankton appears to continue beyond larval life stages in the Richibucto Estuary. |
As a result, increased amounts of surface algae left unconsumed by the zooplankton could potentially lead to algal blooms and poor water quality. |
These tanks received a continual turn-over of water pumped from Loch Lomond and were therefore rich in zooplankton. |
They typically eat insects and floating vegetable matter but their diet also includes zooplankton, aquatic insect larvae, and worms. |
