New Research on the Remarkable Binge-Eating Bull Trout – Cool Green Science

Bull trout stomachs often contained 20 or more salmon smolts. Some contained more than 60. “These are conservative numbers because some fish are partially digested,” says Furey. “It is likely that some bull trout had 100 individual fish in their stomach. In some stomachs, the smolts were almost all in really fresh condition, so they ate a lot in a really short period of time.”
