PFF I did not want to put the stats as they get confusing. The chatrs/tests were based on 120 hour tests. One % natural morts were assumed and the rest were predation. Here is the method used.

An analysis was performed on the daily prey counts to generate bluegill instantaneous mortality rates. We performed a simple linear regression on each treatment with loge(number of bluegills remaining + 1) as the dependent variable and time (h) as the independent variable. Bluegill instantaneous mortality (Z) was derived from the regression under the premise that slope = -Z (Van Den Avyle and Hayward 1999). In the absence of fishing mortality, all mortality is considered natural. A higher value of Z indicates a greater mortality rate, which in turn is directly related to the foraging success of the predator. The resulting slopes of the regression lines were tested for heterogeneity using the general linear model (ANOVA). Significance for all comparisons was set at a @ 0.05.
