Three Nigerian freshwater Γshes were analysed for their proximate and mineral composition. Oreochromis niloticus, Clarias lazera and Mormyrus rume are classiΓed as being in the low-fat class. Oreochromis niloticus has the highest mineral content.
Stomach contents were analysed from the 7 most numerous species of mesopelagic fish caught in a series of 11 hauls over a 24 h period at 230 to 266 m depth in the eastern North Atlantic Ocean. The numerical abundance of organisms per filled stomach and the frequency of occurrence of empty stomachs w
Changes in lipid concentration during early ontogenetic stages were determined in three mesopelagic fish species, __Benthosema glaciale__, __Hygophum benoiti__ and __Maurolicus muelleri__. Total lipid content per larva was related to size and mass and increased over the course of development. In all
