Digestion of pelagic Ctenophora and Cnidaria by fish
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The diet of chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) can range from a primarily arthropod to a primarily gelatinous composition. Because no data exist for the digestion rates of gelatinous prey in any fish, it has not been possible to convert data on stomach contents to feeding rates. We measured rates of digestion to address this issue. In freely feeding age-0 chum salmon, the ctenophore Pleurobrachia bachei was digested almost completely within 1 h, whereas 70% of shrimp sections of similar mass remained after 5 h at 13°C. To examine the fast progress of digestion at smaller intervals, age-0 and age-1 fish were also force-fed with whole P. bachei or sections of the hydromedusa Aequorea victoria. These data emphasize the necessity of examining fish stomachs very quickly after capture. Although gelatinous organisms have high water and salt content relative to their organic content, given the rapid rates of digestion observed, coelenterates might rival arthropods as energy sources.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
