A dynamic-bioenergetics model to assess depth selection and reproductive growth by lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush)

We coupled dynamic optimization and bioenergetics models to assess the assumption that lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) depth distribution is structured by temperature, food availability, and predation risk to maximize reproductive mass by autumn spawning. Because the model uses empirical daily the...
