Silver perch, continued 



and structural habitat parameters (Killam et al. 1992). 

 All life stages appear to be more abundant in moderate 

 to high salinities. High mortalities can occur during 

 extreme low water temperatures induced by seasonal 

 cold fronts. The dietary habits of silver perch are 

 especially similar to juvenile spotted seatrout of com- 

 parable size (Darnell 1958), which may result in com- 

 petition between the two species.
