Abstract In laboratory conditions, where predation by sculpins (Cottus gobio L.) upon brown trout fry (Salmo trutta L.) was strong, predation was shown to be closely linked to total length of prey and predator. The limit of this predation can be defined by the equation: Y = 0.484 X + 5.8 (Y = total length of the trout fry in mm and X = total length of the sculpin in mm).
