The gut is a dynamic organ that is important for obtaining nutrients for growth. Due to the high energetic costs associated with maintaining the gut, it may be expected that fish in temporal environments change their gut size to deal with seasonal changes like temperature, light and prey availability. Using intestine length as a unit of measure for the gut, we investigated if lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) varied the size of their intestine seasonally, across two lakes with different food webs. We found that lake trout in the lake without pelagic forage fish displayed seasonal changes in their intestine length, while lake trout in the lake with pelagic forage fish had relatively consistent size intestine lengths seasonally. Our findings deepen our understanding of how lake trout intestines respond to seasonal changes, which will be important in the future due to shifts in seasonal lengths (i.e. an earlier spring) caused by warming global temperatures.
