Animals balance feeding and anti-predator behaviors at various temporal scales. The Risk Allocation Hypothesis suggests that when risk is infrequent or brief, prey can postpone feeding in the short term. If risk is frequent or lengthy, however, prey must eventually resume feeding to avoid fitness consequences. North Pacific flatfishes exhibit a variety of responses to predation risk, but their response to risk frequency has not been examined. We observed the feeding and anti-predator behaviors of young-of-the-year English sole (Parophrys vetulus), northern rock sole (Lepidopsetta polyxystra), and Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) - species that exhibit divergent anti-predator strategies - following exposure to three levels of predation risk: no risk, infrequent risk (2x/day) and frequent risk (5x/day). English sole responded to the frequent risk treatment with higher feeding rates than during infrequent risk, following a pattern of behavioral response that is predicted by the Risk Allocation Hypothesis; rock sole and halibut did not, but this may be due to the limited range of treatments. Our observations of unique anti-predator strategies and species-specific ecologies suggest divergent trajectories of risk allocation for the three species.
