Article Synopsis
- Fish larvae play a critical role in their ecosystems by influencing prey populations and their diet varies with size, species, and habitat, particularly affected by water turbidity.
- The study observed roach, perch, and pikeperch larvae in both clear and turbid lakes across different times in spring to autumn, revealing that diet changes occur due to factors like light conditions and resource availability, with evidence of competition among coexisting species.
- Ultimately, turbidity in the turbid lake provided cover for the fish larvae, leading to greater selectivity in their prey than in clear waters, which could hinder efforts to restore water clarity due to increased predation pressure.
