... turbidity, habitat spatial complexity and diet) variables. Acuity was significantly correlated with eye size ( P <0.001); a weaker correlation with body size occurred via a correlation between eye and body size ( P <0.001). Acuity decreased as light level decreased and turbidity increased; however...

...Justin J. Meager; Paolo Domenici; Alex Shingles; Anne Christine Utne-Palm SUMMARY We examined the effect of turbidity (0.5–14 beam attenuation m –1 ) and predator attack speed (150 and 296 cm s –1 ) on escape responses of juvenile cod Gadus morhua in the laboratory. We triggered escape responses...
