Abstract: | The food consumption of all fish species was estimated at nine sites in two lowland rivers. The fish populations, whose diet consisted chiefly of invertebrates (88%), used on the average 9.88 (7.14–13.3) kg of invertebrates for the production of 1 kg of fish flesh. This number of invertebrates corresponds to 39.35 ± 7.34 MJ (% MathType!MTEF!2!1!+-% feaafiart1ev1aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn% hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXatLxBI9gBaerbd9wDYLwzYbItLDharqqtubsr% 4rNCHbGeaGqiVu0Je9sqqrpepC0xbbL8F4rqqrFfpeea0xe9Lq-Jc9% vqaqpepm0xbba9pwe9Q8fs0-yqaqpepae9pg0FirpepeKkFr0xfr-x% fr-xb9adbaqaaeGaciGaaiaabeqaamaabaabaaGcbaGadiiEayaara% aaaa!3703!\\bar x\] ± S.D.). In estimating the effective use of consumed (K1) and assimilated (K2) food for growth, it was found that the predominance of food of animal origin over plant of detrital food resulted in a decrease in the living cost (maintenance ration) of fish. |
