Overview

Analysis quantifies how temperature and hydrology affect foraging behavior and energy needs of snook, suggesting implications for global change.

Key Points

  • Snook consume less fish at higher temperatures, increasing the likelihood of empty stomachs.
  • Smaller-bodied snook are more likely to rely on invertebrates as prey under varying marsh stages.
  • Predation simulations show snook need larger quantities of lower-quality prey to meet energy demands.
  • Global change may force snook to seek optimal habitats or shift diets to manage energy needs.
