To understand how fish density and food availability affect habitat selection and growth of juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), we manipulated fish density (2-12 fish center dot m(-2)) and natural invertebrate drift (0.047-0.99 mg center dot m(-3)) in 12 experimental stream channels constructed in a side-channel of Chapman Creek, British Columbia. Increased food resulted in increased growth of both dominant and subdominant fish and a shift to higher average focal velocities (from 6.5 to 8.4 cm center dot s(-1)) with maximum growth in the range of 10-12 cm center dot s(-1). Increased food appears to permit juvenile coho to exploit higher velocity microhabitats that might otherwise be bioenergetically unsuitable at lower food levels. Increased fish density resulted in lower growth of subdominant but not of dominant fish and a general displacement of fish to both higher and lower focal velocities. The shapes of habitat suitability curves were sensitive to food abundance, implying that differences in food availability may affect transferability of habitat suitability curves between streams of different productivity. While habitat suitability curves captured the change in extent of available habitat following prey enrichment, actual increases in growth rate with enrichment (i.e., changes in habitat quality) were poorly represented by habitat suitability values and better represented by bioenergetic model predictions.
