Feeding of adult sprat, Sprattus sprattus, during spawning season in the Adriatic Sea
The aim of this study was to obtain preliminary information about food composition and feeding habits of the adult sprat during its spawning season in the Adriatic Sea. The most important food items were adults and juveniles of planctonic copepods and decapod larvae. Cladocerans, mysids, appendicularians, isopods, ostracods, pteropods, bivalve larvae and fish eggs were also found ; no phytoplancton or other algal remains were found in the stomachs. Significant differences between samples collected during night, morning and afternoon hours were found. The maximum values of stomach content were found in the samples collected during afternoon hours, while the stomachs of fish caught before sunrise were generally empty.
