Qualitative and quantitative aspects of the food of Ethmalosa fimbriata (Bowdich) in the Ebrié lagoon (Côte d'Ivoire)
The food of Ethmalosa fimbriata in the central part of the Ebrié lagoon, where the salinity is low, consists on limnic phytoplankton. In the region near Abidjan, which is more strongly influenced by coastal water, it consists of marine phyto- and zooplankton. The daily ration of a 12.5 cm fork-length fish is estimated to be between 2 and 3 % of its body weight.
