Feeding habits of the spotted rose snapper Lutjanus guttatus (Pisces: Lutjanidae) in the coast of Guerrero, Mexico

 Stomach contents analysis was used to describe quantitatively the feeding habits of Lutjanus guttatus. A total of 239 organisms with fork lengths between 12 and 55 cm were collected monthly from February 1993 to January 1995 in the coast of Guerrero. This species consumed a wide variety of...

A total of 239 organisms with fork lengths between 12 and 55 cm were collected monthly from February 1993 to January 1995 in the coast of Guerrero. This species consumed a wide variety of prey organisms, mainly small fishes (index of relative importance, IIR = 67.46%) of the families Engraulidae, Clupeidae and Bregmacerotidae. Crustaceans, represented by Reptantia, Natantia and Stomatopoda, were consumed less (IIR = 30.94%). The composition of the diet varied as a function of the fish size. Seasonal and sexual differences in the diet were not significant. Se analizó el espectro alimentario del flamenco, Lutjanus guttatus, con base en el examen de los contenidos estomacales de 239 individuos recolectados mensualmente en la costa de Guerrero entre febrero de 1993 y enero de 1995. El intervalo de la longitud furcal de los organismos fue de12 a 55 cm. Los resultados muestran que esta especie se alimenta principalmente de peces pequeños pertenecientes a las familias Engraulidae, Clupeidae y Bregmacerotidae (que significaron el 67.46% del índice de importancia relativa, IIR). En menor proporción se encontraron crustáceos pertenecientes a los taxa Reptantia, Natantia y Stomatopoda (que representaron el 30.94% del IIR). La composición de la dieta varía en relación con la talla, más que con la estación del año y el sexo de los organismos.
