Changes in turbidity and light availability influence fish behavior, which can alter ecosystem dynamics. We investigated the influence of a range of turbidity and light levels on prey consumption in Rhinichthys atratulus (Eastern blacknose dace). We found differences in prey consumption as a function of turbidity under both high- and low-light conditions. These results indicate that relatively low magnitude changes in turbidity and light can significantly influence blacknose dace, which has major implications for aquatic communities.
