Le régime alimentaire de Dentex angolensis, Poll et Maul, 1953 (Sparidae)

The food of Dentex angolensis, studied from 386 stomachs, consists essentially of small epibenthic crustaceans and, with less importance, of fishes. A systematic list with abundance and occurrence is given here. It is noted that the composition of the stomach content can differ with depth and season.

Note sur le régime alimentaire de quelques poissons démérsaux de Côte d'Ivoire

Stomach contents from 21 species of demersal fish caught on Grand Bassam (Côte d'Ivoire) fishing grounds at 20 and 35 m depth are analyzed. The results are compared with those of Longhurst (1957, 1960). The great importance of Crustacea in the food of those species appears clearly. A representative scheme of the diet is suggested.

Régime alimentaire de la phase lagunaire de Elops lacerta (C.V. 1846)

Elops lacerta is a juvenil's predator of all the fish species living in the same biotope. its preys follow three systematic orders: 1 - Fishes: they are the most important in the stomachal contents of Elops lacerta, and are dominated by clupeidae, mainly by Ethmalosa fimbriata; 2 - Shrimps: mainly the Peneidae, are not very important; 3 - Molluscs: they are the less important preys and are represented by only one Pelecypoda family: the Corbulidae. This earlier predator feeds rather at night than during the day. It has neither preferential prey nor apparent seasonal variations in its food habits.
