Diet Composition, Feeding Habits And Condition Factor Of Chrysichthys Nigrodigitatus In Ebonyi River (A Tropical Flood River System), Southeastern Nigeria
The investigation for the food, feeding habits and condition factor of Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus in Ebonyi River was on seventy (70) samples. In the stomach of the C. nigrodigitiatus examined, the food items found include: cladocera, copepods, rotifer, diatoms, dinoflagellate, clams, worms, insect...
