title: Detritus-Based Food Webs: Exploitation by Juvenile Chum Salmon (Oncorhynchus keta).
abstract: Harpacticoid copepods are the principal food of chum salmon during the first critical weeks of estuarine life. Heterotrophic food sources are preferentially ingested by harpacticoids. A commercially valuable fisheries resource, usually considered to be planktivorous, is related to a detritus-based, benthically derived food web.
