Development and Test of a Whole-Lifetime Foraging and Bioenergetics Growth Model for Drift-Feeding Brown Trout JOHN W. HAYES,* JOHN D. STARK, AND KAREN A. SHEARER Cawthron Institute, Private Bag 2, Nelson, New Zealand Abstract.—We developed and tested a combined foraging and bioenergetics model for predicting growth over the lifetime of drift-feeding brown trout. The foraging component estimates gross energy intake within a fish- and prey size-dependentsemicircularforagingareathati...
