Abstract

The feeding habits of Pomadasys jubelini was investigated in the three lagoons (Grand-Lahou, Ebrie and Aby) from January 2007 to December 2008. The diet was studied in relation to localities, fish size and seasons. A total of 2284 stomachs were examined. The index of relative importance (%IRI) showed that P. jubelini had an omnivorous diet with benthophagous tendency in all lagoons. Crustaceans, Gastropods, Bivalves, Insects, Annelids and Plants were the major feed. Juveniles (Fork Length (FL) < 13.20cm in Grand-Lahou, FL < 11.75cm in Ebrie and FL < 12.35cm in Aby lagoons) consumed Insects principally Chironomid larvae, while sub adults (13.20 – 15.20cm FL, 11.75 – 13.42cm FL, 12.35 – 14.52cm FL in Grand-Lahou, Ebrie and Aby lagoons respectively) and adults (>15.20cm FL, >13.42 cm FL, >14.52cm FL in Grand-Lahou, Ebrie and Aby lagoons respectively) fed mainly on Crustaceans, Annelids, Molluscs and Plants. In Grand-Lahou lagoon, Spearman correlation showed a significant difference between diet of juveniles (N = 12; Rs = 0.54; p = 0.068), sub adults (N = 12; Rs = 0.23; p = 0.47) and adults (N = 12; Rs = 0.48; p = 0.11) of P. jubeliniin all seasons.
