The encounter speed of moving predator and prey

Geoffrey T. Evans

Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Science Branch PO Box 5667, St John's, Newfoundland, Canada A1C 5X1

Received on April 26, 1988; accepted on December 6, 1988 A Gaussian model for the distribution of swimming velocities of planktonic organisms predicts that if predator and prey have modal speeds v and u respectively, then their modal relative speed is simply {surd}(u2+v2). This is more convenient, and no less realistic, than more complicated formulas.
