Communication in troubled waters: responses of fish communication systems to changing environments (2011, background): “…effects of environmental change on other forms of inter-specific interactions, for example the influence of turbidity (light-scattering and -absorbing suspended particles) on visual interactions between predators and prey, have been discussed elsewhere (e.g., Utne-Palm 2002; Domenici et al. 2007).”
A review of impacts of marine dredging activities on marine mammals (2015, background): “…fish feeding ability, although piscivorous fish that feed on larger prey, detected visually over longer distances, are affected to a greater extent than planktivorous fish, that detect prey visually over short distances (Hecht and van der Lingen, 1992; Utne-Palm, 2002; de Robertis et al., 2003).”
The Effects of Turbidity on Prey Selection by Piscivorous Largemouth Bass (2009, background): “Contrast degradation theory predicts that organisms that feed on large prey types (such as piscivores) should be more affected by increases in turbidity than organisms that feed on small prey types (such as planktivores) (Utne-Palm 2002; De Robertis et al. 2003).”
Human-induced water turbidity alters selection on sexual displays in sticklebacks (2007, background): “Algae-induced turbidity decreases the amount of light that can penetrate the water column and deteriorates the visual environment (Utne-Palm 2002).”
Turbidity decreases anti-predator behaviour in pike larvae, Esox lucius (2005, background): “On the other hand, it has been shown that turbid water increases contrast between prey and its background, which should make prey detection easier if the amount of light is sufficient (reviewed by Utne-Palm 2002).”
Optical control of fish and zooplankton populations (2004, background): “Experiments on feeding in fish demonstrate that the light level and optical properties of the water determine the likelihood that prey is detected and consumed (Vinyard and O’Brien 1976; Utne-Palm 2002).”
Toward a more comprehensive theory of zooplankton diel vertical migration: Integrating ultraviolet radiation and water transparency into the biotic paradigm (2011, background): “The light dependence of reactive distance will cause reactive distance to generally increase with increasing water transparency (Utne-Palm 2002; Quesenberry et al. 2007; Chesney 2008), perhaps offsetting to some extent reduced predation rates due to the lower concentrations of fish.”
