Abstract
Mysis diluviana are a species of zooplankton rich in fatty acids, making them a great food source for fishes. Part of the Mysis population migrates towards the water surface each night (pDVM), while others remain in the benthos as a source of prey for benthic fishes (deepwater sculpin, round goby, slimy sculpin) at night. Researching the predation patterns of benthic and pelagic fishes in Lake Champlain and Lake Ontario is important in understanding Mysis pDVM and lake food web dynamics.
