Good topic. I've always accepted the 1/4 to 1/3 without really questioning it. From an energy expended versus calories obtained, it always made sense. However, thinking about it for the first time, It seems that one prey fish would take longer to break down versus two in the predators body.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
