Abstract
⺠We examined the effect of food abundance on aggressiveness and territory size in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. ⺠Frequency of territorial aggression was highest at intermediate levels of food abundance. ⺠Territory size decreased by only 30% over a 32-fold increase in food abundance. ⺠Territory size was relatively insensitive to changes in food abundance. ⺠Territoriality may have a regulatory effect on population density.
