Environmental and drifting invertebrate prey characteristics used in drift-foraging bioenergetics models for Rainbow Trout

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 05:39 AM | Dataset Last Updated: July 17, 2026 at 12:00 AM
These data were simulated to use in a conceptual paper that explores the impacts of temperature and drifting invertebrate prey assemblages on Rainbow Trout. Objectives of our study were to examine how warming-induced changes in invertebrate prey production and size structure may impact the growth rate and maximum body size of Rainbow Trout in freshwater ecosystems using drift-foraging bioenergetics models. The data were not collected in nature, but rather simulated. Values in our simulations were guided by previously published studies in riverine environments.
