I don't think I'd say there is no way to develop the hypothesis, just that we have not yet thought of a simple way.
A lot of feed efficiency issues have been worked out in great detail in freshwater trout, and a lot of ways of untangling food webs have been used in large freshwater lakes and the open oceans.
And even if the available data never becomes available to describe all the biological and life history causes behind the observations, the observations themselves (condition of the fish) and the resulting correlations are pretty solid.
