| Note(s): |
Selective feeding by fishes may be due in part to the conspicuousness of particular prey types; certain prey may be disproportionately detected by fish and thus could be subject to a greater risk of predation. In laboratory experiments designed to test the relative importance of chemoreception, vision, and prey activity in the process of preydetection, I allowed pinfish Lagodonrhomboides (Linnaeus) to choose among various seagrass-meadow-associated infaunal and epifaunal prey [Melita, Cerapus, Caprella (amphipods); Hippolyte (shrimp); Americonuphis, Nereis (polychaetes); and Clytia, Sertularia (hydroids)].
