In this study we attempt to develop a synthesis of previously published work concerning the feeding habits of fourteen European freshwater fish: Anguilla anguilla L., Salmo trutta L., Rutilus rutilus L., Leuciscus leuciscus L ., Leuciscus cephalus L., Phoxinus phoxinus L., Gobio gobio L., Abramis brama L., Cyprinus carpio L., Tinca tinca L., Barbatula barbutula L., Gasterosteus aculeatus L., Perca fluviatilis L. and Cottus gobio L. Data presented in this paper were obtained frorn 98 studies in 16 European countries. Great Britain with 40 studies was the most documented country. In order to synthetize the maximurn information for each species, all methods used for analysing feeding habits and found in the different studies have been taken into account. Results are presented on tables with a commentary for each species analysed. The fourteen species were then classified into major trophic guilds. Cet article represente une synthese bibliographique du regime alimentaire de 14 especes de poissons d'eau douce europeens: Anguilla anguilla L., Salmo trutta L., Rutilus rutilus L., Leuciscus leuciscus L ., Leuciscus cephalus L., Phoxinus phoxinus L., Gobio gobio L., Abramis brama L., Cyprinus carpio L., Tinca tinca L., Barbatula barbutula L., Gasterosteus aculeatus L., Perca fluviatilis L. and Cottus gobio L. Les donnees analysies ont ete extraites de 98 etudes realistes dans 16 pays. La Grande Bretagne, avec 40 etudes, reste le pays le plus documente en matiere de regime et de comportement alimentaire des poissons d'eau douce. Afin de repertoner le maximurn d'information sur chacune des especes, toutes les methodes d'analyse des contenus stomacaux ont ite pnses en compte. Les risultats sont presentes sous forme de tableaux synthetiques et un resume est effectue pour chacune des especes analysees. Les quatorze especes ont ete classees ulterieurement en guildes trophiques.
