Episodic zooplanktivory by largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) on Daphnia: a 25-year natural history record from a small northern temperate lake

We observed episodic zooplanktivory by largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides; LMB) ≥ 150 mm total length (TL) on the cladoceran Daphnia spp. over two decades in a small oligotrophic lake.
