Radial transects showing the predicted relative abundance of three size
classes that result from prey-searching, predator-avoidance and combined prey-
searching and predator-avoidance behaviour.

dance, 'sampling' in areas close to centres of high primary production
provided good approximations of the cross-region spectra (

).
B. Life Histories
Growth trajectories were calculated for individuals growing from a mass of
5 mg at starting locations of 0, 70 and 140 m from the centre of peak biomass
(

). Away from the centre of peak biomass,
individuals grew
