Natural diet of fish from Lake Xolotlán (Managua) Food habits ofMelaniris sardina, Astyanax fasciatus andDorosoma chavesi (n=562) were analyzed in Lake Xolotlán (Managua). Quality and quantity of ingested food were studied by dissecting the alimentary canal and observing its content. Cladocera were the main food forM. Sardina andA. fasciatus. Melaniris sardina could play an important role in maintaining low cladoceran population densities in the lake. Rotifers are the main food forD. chavesi. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Aquatic Ecology Springer Journals
