Ontogenetic shift in nocturnal microhabitat selection by giant kokopu in a New Zealand stream

Abstract

Nocturnal microhabitat selection in relation to size was examined for a New Zealand drift‐feeding freshwater fish, the giant kokopu Galaxias argenteus in three coastal Otago streams. Evidence for ontogenetic shifts in microhabitat selection were observed, particularly with respect to water velocity and depth. Small (
