The role of food availability in structuring fish communities is complex. Fish often demonstrate preferences for one food type over another, and these food items typically vary spatially and temporally. One important consideration in diet preferences is the ontogenetic shift in trophic position fish undergo as they mature from juveniles to adults. I have investigated the ontogenetic diet shift of black crappie (Pomoxis nigromaculatus) in Cutler Reservoir, a shallow eutrophic impoundment located on the Bear River in northern Utah, USA. Cutler Reservoir contains a diverse and abundant fish community however; little information describing the aquatic ecosystem is currently available. I analyzed the stomach contents of black crappie in order to...
