| Abstract: | Schulten, G. G. M. 1974. The food of some duck species occurring at Lake Chilwa, Malawi. Ostrich 45: 224–226. Gullet and stomach contents of 23 Southern Pochards, 17 Fulvous Treeducks, 14 White-faced Treeducks, 15 Hottentot Teals, 4 Redbilled Teals, 1 Whitebacked Dack and 1 Pigmy Goose were analysed. These birds were shot in the Lake Chilwa area (Malawi, C. Africa) between 1969–1972. Most of the food components were identified and their occurrence is presented in a table.
