FEEDING OF EUROPEAN PILCHARD (SARDINA PILCHARDUS) IN THE NORTHWESTERN MEDITERRANEAN: FROM LATE LARVAE TO ADULTS

Feeding of European pilchard (Sardina pilchardus) in the northwestern Mediterranean: from late larvae to adults

We assessed the relative importance of different prey types of the European pilchard (European sardine) from the late larval to the adult stage.Two different methodologies for analysing stomach contents were used to describe the trophic dynamics of sardine and the relationship of sardine feeding behaviour with the ontogenetic development of body st
