“…Indeed, filter-feeding is energetically more advantageous than visual particulate feeding when the biomass of large phytoplankton is high (Yowell & Vinyard, 1993). Because microzooplankton (rotifers and nauplii) are less evasive prey than mesozooplankton (mainly copepods), they are more susceptible to predation by filter-feeding tilapia (Ibrahim et al, 2015). On the other hand, during the second experiment when algal biomass was very low, tilapia may have affected plankton through both filterfeeding and visual particulate feeding.…”

“…Studies in other fishes suggest that such a change could be related to ontogenetic shifts in foraging from plankton to other food items (Britt et al, 2001;Loew and Wahl, 1991). O. niloticus also shift foraging, eating more zooplankton in the larval stage, and switching to other foods as they age (Fattah Ibrahim et al, 2015).…”

“…Nile tilapia uses filter feeding and visual predation to catch its prey (Beveridge & Baird, 2000). While adult, the fish stop preying visually and the mucus secreted by the gill rakers trap only small planktonic organisms (Gophen, Drenner, & Vinyard, 1983;Lazzaro, 1987Lazzaro, , 1991Sanderson et al, 1996;Ibrahim et al 2015). Hence, plankton could be the dominant diet item of tilapia in eutrophic phytoplanktondominated lakes (Getachew & Fernando, 1989).…”
