Abstract

In this report I discuss the first documented predation of a red-eared slider Trachemys scripta elegans by the largemouth bass. One red-eared slider (45 mm in straight carapace length, 21 g in wet weight) was found in the stomach of a male largemouth bass (388 mm in standard body length) caught by electrofishing in Akanoi bay, Lake Biwa.
