Using accelerometry to quantify prey attack and handling behaviours in piscivorous pike Esox lucius

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Accelerometer technology was used to evaluate behaviours in the teleost ambush predator pike Esox lucius foraging on crucian carp Carassius carassius. Automated rule-based estimates of prey-size determined handling time were obtained and are compared with video-recorded behaviours. Solutions to tag attachment and the limitations imposed by battery-time and data-logging capacities are evaluated.
