Diet composition and food selectivity of 0-group herring (Clupea harengus L.) and sprat (Sprattus sprattus (L.)) in the northern Baltic Sea
Diet composition and prey selectivity of the major Baltic Sea zooplanktivores, 0-group herring ( Clupea harengus ) and sprat ( Sprattus sprattus ), were studied in a coastal area. Diets were dominated by zooplankton, mainly cladocerans ( Bosmina longispina maritima and Pleopsis polyphemoides ) and c...
