Unfortunately for Blackfish it doesn't seam to matter what size they are. All but the largest can be swallowed by trout not much over 30cm in length. Despite this blackfish do ok in areas with trout so long as the habitat, particuarly cobbles with spaces between and under them, is in good condition. If the habitat is sedimented up its a different story for the blackfish.
