Big fish die in a mass extinction event:

Then, the big fish are small fish, but there are still fish.
"Sharks vs. Fish" is textbook, but I don't know that geometric scale vs. multiscale extinction events has been explored.
Candidate inputs:
- variety of fish sizes
- at event kill cells, and if fish are in them, kill them too
- consider damage vs. kill so large "fish" can survive if the damage is "minor"
- look at distribution of fish after a few reproducing generations
- make a "large fishbowl"
- iterate with different densities of "events"
- require fish to eat in proportion to their size to stay alive
- mix carnivores and herbivores
- Maybe too big to fail equals guaranteed to fail
- How does size of fish relate to survival
- How does mode of fish relate to survival
Recommendations?
