Development of a non‐lethal stomach content analysis method for freshwater eels: An empirical evaluation of the tube method for Anguilla marmorata

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the feeding habits of predatory fish is essential for unravelling food web structures and implementing conservation strategies in riverine ecosystems. However, conventional lethal stomach content analysis methods are not necessarily appropriate for long‐term dietary studies, particularly for threatened species, as they require ...
