Feeding habits of sardine (Sardinops sagax) in relation to their spawning activities
Feeding activity of sardine (Sardinops sagax) from St Helena Bay and Gans Bay in the Southern Benguela was studied between February and April 2011 and related to reproduction. Feeding intensity of 373 sardine was calculated and correlated with caudal length across different gonad maturity and fat …
