Régime alimentaire du pageot commun Pagellus erythrinus du golfe de Gabes

Abstract

By gastric contents analysis, the feeding pattern study of common pandora (Pagellus erythrinus) living in the gulf of Gabes (Tunisia)shows that: - the vacuity coefficient variations are apparently linked to the physiological conditions (reproduction and growth): - this sparidae feeds principally on crustaceans (preferential prey), annelids and molluscs, secondarily on fish and echinoderms: - this diet changes slightly with seasons and growth.
