Summary

Individual variation in the foraging behaviour of the pumpkinseed sunfish was investigated under laboratory conditions in feeding arenas containing structured and open-water habitats. In general, fish learned to feed on a novel prey item over a 10-day period with both inter-capture interval and total time to capture prey decreasing over the period.

Methodology

Fish were seined from Lake Opinicon and experimented on in tanks
