Long-term datasets showed an increase in large-bodied (>2 kg) piscivore abundance followed by a collapse of the kokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka) prey population in 2013 and subsequent decline of large-bodied piscivores. An unprecedented post-collapse state formed in 2015–2018, characterized by low kokanee spawner abundance and biomass and high catch rates for small-bodied ( |
