Long-term changes in Baltic herring (Clupea harengus membras) growth in the Gulf of Finland (2004, background): “affinis shows strong escape responses (Viitasalo et al. 2001) and may therefore be difficult prey for herring.”
A comparison of anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) and sardine (Sardina pilchardus) larvae feeding in the Northwest Mediterranean: influence of prey availability and ontogeny (2010, background): “Cladocerans (large, but poor swimmers; Drenner et al., 1978; Viitasalo et al., 2001) were intermediate prey items between copepod nauplii and calanoid copepods, which are large and elusive and whose capture entails substantial outlay of energy (Coughlin, 1991).”
Feeding ecology of Central Baltic sprat Sprattus sprattus larvae in relation to zooplankton dynamics: implications for survival (2007, background): “However, Viitasalo et al. (2001) also observed that Acartia spp. performs only a weak escape jump with a small escape distance, which is positively related to attack success of a predator (e.g. Caparroy 2000).”
Prey selectivity and diel feeding chronology of juvenile chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and coho (O. kisutch) salmon in the Columbia River plume (2003, background): “A substantial body of literature has accumulated which demonstrates that many freshwater and marine fish species selectively feed on relatively large and heavily pigmented prey (Gerking, 1994; Utne-Palm, 1999; Viitasalo et al., 2001).”
Feeding preferences of herring (Clupea harengus) and sprat (Sprattus sprattus) in the southern Baltic Sea (2004, background): “and reaction time) (Viitasalo et al., 2001) and the prey relative abundance (our study).”
Diel spatial distribution and feeding activity of herring ( Clupea harengus) and sprat (Sprattus sprattus) in the Baltic Sea (2003, unknown): “Since both herring and sprat are highly selective visual feeders (Blaxter and Hunter, 1982; Arrhenius, 1998; Viitasalo et al., 2001), the time available for herring for feeding could be less than for sprat and restricted only to dawn and dusk when nektobenthos is in the water column and visible to t”
