Reproduction traits and strategies of two Sardinella species off the Southwest ...
Quiatuhanga, Domingas; Morais, Pedro; Krug, Lilian; Teodosio, MariaSmall pelagic fishes such as Sardinella aurita (Valenciennes, 1847) and Sardinella maderensis (R. T. Lowe, 1838) are key intermediate-level components of the marine food web of the southwestern African coast. Their biomass off Angola has shown significant interannual variability, and information about their reproduction is insufficient in the region for adequate stock management. Thus, we aimed to unveil the re...
Trophic interactions of two sympatric small pelagic fishes off the southern coa...
Quiatuhanga, Domingas; Morais, Pedro; Teodosio, MariaNumerous small pelagic fish species are of great economic importance and link the lower and upper levels of the marine food web. The round sardinella Sardinella aurita and flat sardinella S. maderensis coexist along their distribution range in the southeastern Atlantic Ocean, where we hypothesise that they compete for similar prey. Thus, this study aimed to compare the trophic ecology of these species off the s...
