Popis: | The feeding behavior of juvenile chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) and pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) is given for the period of their joint fattening in the coastal waters of Prostor Bay (Iturup Island). Investigations show decrease of variability in food content and stomach fullness indexes while juveniles move from shallow-water towards the open sea. Feeding selectivity of chum salmon and pink salmon for some species of copepods is studied and is shown to reduce tension in food relationships. High infestation of juveniles with trematode Brachyphallus crenatus is identified. |
