摘要: Stomach contents were collected and analysed from 22 bull trout Salvelinus confluentus at the edge of Chilko Lake River in British Columbia, Canada, during spring outmigration sockeye salmonOncorhynchus nerka smolts. Twenty ( >90%) stomachs contained prey items, virtually all identifiable items outmigrant O. smolts stomach represented a large portion (0 ⋅0–12 ⋅6%) estimated S. mass. The results demonstrate nearly exclusive intense feeding by on smolts, support recent telemetry observations high disappearance rates leaving natural lake systems prior to entering high-order unregulated river systems.
