Abstract
A positive, highly significant correlation (r = 0.897, P ≤ 0.001) is found between the body length of Leptodora kindtii and the size (external diameter) of its feeding basket. The relationship is given by the expression y = 0.152 (±0.023) + 0.145 (±0.005) x. There is no statistically significant difference among the regression equations obtained during different periods of the year (t0.001 and t0.05 test for intercepts and slopes). Therefore, the relationship is independent of seasonality and can be used to predict the size of prey that can be captured by the different-sized Leptodora found at different phases of population growth.
