  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Stomach contents were collected and analysed from 22 bull trout&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Salvelinus confluentus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;at the edge of the Chilko Lake and Chilko River in British Columbia, Canada, during spring outmigration of sockeye salmon&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Oncorhynchus nerka&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;smolts. Twenty of the 22 (&amp;gt;90%) stomachs contained prey items, virtually all identifiable prey items were outmigrant&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;O. nerka&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;smolts and stomach contents represented a large portion (0·0–12·6%) of estimated&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;S. confluentus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;mass. The results demonstrate nearly exclusive and intense feeding by&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;S. confluentus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;on outmigrant smolts, and support recent telemetry observations of high disappearance rates of&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;O. nerka&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;smolts leaving large natural lake systems prior to entering high-order unregulated river systems.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
