Roach: Data frame of Roach in Lough Neagh

RoachR Documentation

Data frame of Roach in Lough Neagh

Description

The roach is a cyprinid freshwater-brackish benthopelagic fish, common to most of Europe and western Asia [http://www.fishbase.org/summary/Rutilus-rutilus.html] (http://www.fishbase.org/summary/Rutilus-rutilus.html). Larvae and juveniles are typically pelagic, consuming zooplankton, with a switch to more benthic diets as they grow, including plant material and detritus. The dataset included here examines if a consumer shows an ontogenetic shift in their trophic position, studying how TP varies across different size classes.
