Abstract
Artificial spawning beds for lake trout, made of sharp rocks, are better than natural spawning beds of round boulders. The eggs laid in the interstices between the sharp rocks are thereby protected to a certain extent against depredation by other fish, whereas, eggs laid on round boulders are easily reached by predators. SCUBA diving equipment was used to make observations of the spawning beds.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
