Ecology Summary - Padogobius bonelli

Language:

Main Ref.	Crivelli, A.J., 1996
Remarks	Stomach contents of specimens collected from Stirone Torrent comprise of larvae of Trichoptera in large individuals and larvae of Ephemeroptera in smaller ones. Small annelids and larvae of Plecoptera were also present. In the lower course of the Taro R., adults feed mainly on gammarids; the same diet as those found in Sesia R. Cannibalism have been noted in captive fishes, under conditions of high density, once observed in the wild (Ref, 43646).
