2 ., THE FOOD OF LAKE NPGON FSHES n conjunction with the various studies dealing with the food supply of fish in Lake Nipigon as well as with the studies of the distribution and rates of growth of the fish themselves, examinations of the contents of a considerable number of alimentary tracts of several species of fish have been made. The results, as far as it has been possible to bring them together at the present time, are given in the following tables. n the cases of the larger predaceous fish (lake trout, yellow pike perch, and ling), the numbers in the columns give the actual number of fish eaten and a + sign indicates material disintegrated beyond identification and no attempt made to count individuals. n the tables dealing with the other species an attempt has been made to estimate the percentages of the most abundant organisms found, and the numbers in the tables give these estimates. A + sign in these tables indicates occurrence in amounts not estimated, usually representing less than one per cent. The results of the examination of 455 fish are given, distributed as follows: sturgeon 2, northern sucker 6, common sucker 33, minnows 27, round whitefish 29, common whitefish 65, ciscoes 89, lake trout 42, trout perch 23, small mouth black bass 6, yellow pike perch 2, yellow perch 4, ling

Little need be added in amplification of the data given in the tables, but mention may be made of a few outstanding points.. Gill net records show that the northern sucker inhabits deeper water than does the common sucker. The food studies substantiate this fact, in that, as a rule, higher percentages of Pontoporeia occurred in the northern sucker than in the common. t appears also that the older individ., THE FOOD OF LAKE NPGON FSHES 87 uals of the common sucker feed at greater depths than do the younger. 2: Somewhat similar conclusions may be drawn respecting the whitefishes. According to the gill net records, the round whitefish does not extend to as great depths as does the common whitefish, and its food, according to the table, is obtained in comparatively shallow water. The data do not show definitely that the older individuals of the common whitefish feed altogether at greater depths than do the younger. This would be expected where the data is not extensive, because large individuals are often taken in shallow water. t is evident that the common whitefish has serious competitors for food in the suckers, since the latter are bottom feeders and are very abundant in the lake. 3. The ciscoes, although very abundant, come into very little competition with other fish as regards food, in that they are open water plankton feeders, subsisting largely upon Mysis relicta and Limnocalanus. On the other hand they are fed upon extensively by the lake trout. 4. The outstanding item of food of the lake trout is ciscoes. n Lake Nipigon, where the operation of gill nets of 4! inch mesh only is permitted, the number of ciscoes taken is relatively small, and those which are taken are at present sent to the market as whitefish. n view of this fact and since the lake trout is of such great commercial importance, the feeding of the latter upon the ciscoes is not to be deplored. t has been a matter of some surprise that no whitefish have as yet been found in the lake trout stomachs, and if further investigation substantiates this condition, a very fortunate state of affairs will be shown to exist.. 5. The food of the trout perch was evidently obtained n the river. 6. The importance of the ninespined stickleback (Py?osteus pungitius) in the food of the yellow pike perch is nteresting and is possibly correlated with the small numbers of minnows occurring in the lake.. 7. The chief competitor of the lake trout is no doubt the hng, since it apparently feeds largely upon ciscoes. The
10 88 THE FOOD OF LAKE PGO FSHES absence of fish of commercial value in its diet is important. t is interesting to note that five individuals had fed UPon Mysis relicta. The amounts of the latter were so large as to preclude the possibility of their having been contained in cisco stomachs and, in fact, in three cases no other material could be detected. 8. The fish examined fall more or less definitely into the following groups as regards food :() predaceouslake trout, yellow pike perch, ling; (2) bottom feederssturgeon, northern sucker, common sucker, round whitefish, common whitefish; (3) open water plankton feedersciscoes; (4) shallow water plankton and insect feedersyoung common suckers, minnows, young small mouth black bass, young yellow perch; (5) insect feederstrout perch.
