abstract:
Feeding habitus of the striped seabreamLithognathus mormyruswere investigated in the Calich lagoon
(NW Sardinia, Italy). The stomach contents of 128 adult specimens ( TL=J9.5±J.3 cm) collected in spring
and summer 1998 were examined. Benthic fauna such as Amphipoda, Mollusca and Polychaeta were the
main food items (33.2, 19.3 and 5% of the number of preys respectively), but a large amount of Chironomidae
larvae and detritus was also found (1/.6 and 30.6%). No dijJerences between the diet of 2 fish size
classes (20<TL≥20 cm) were observed.
