20.500.12556/DKUM-94683 Diet of the common eagle ray, Myliobatis aquila (Linnaeus, 1758) in the northern Adriatic sea Westudied the feeding habits of the common eagle ray (Myliobatis aquila) in the shallow northern Adriatic Sea. Altogether we analysed the contents of 122 stomachs of specimens caught as by-catch in the Gulf of Trieste and along the west Istrian coast. Shelled molluscs (N%=75.17), mainly bivalves and gastropods, were the most prominent prey categories, while crustaceans, sipunculids, echinoderms and polychaets (N% < 10) represented consid erably smaller numbers. With increasing size (and age) the eagle rays tend to become more experienced in preying molluscs and specialized to this prey category. The obtained results are in general in agreement with the limited existing reports on the diet of the common eagle ray in the Mediterranean Sea and adjacent areas. food habits myliobatid ontogenetic shift Adriatic Sea prehranjevalne navade morske ribe true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Jadransko morje; Znanstveno delo 2025-08-25 13:47:37 2025-08-25 13:47:37 2025-08-26 03:35:34 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 17 str. št. 7, št. članka 311 Letn. 10 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2025-04-22 2025-06-17 2025-07-01 591.131.1:597.317.72 246520323 10.3390/fishes10070311 2410-3888 RAZ_Lipej_Lovrenc_2025.pdf RAZ_Lipej_Lovrenc_2025.pdf 1 FDDFA2D22D04613ECF563D0A8B2A588C c1a62e6a6485a496bb0cb9ad97ffd5632a5c07e3568a40a4eeaf667e2ae6151f bdef76e9-81a9-11f0-adee-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=196211 https://doi.org/10.3390/fishes10070311 1 4cd805c0-81a9-11f0-adee-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=196209 Fakulteta za naravoslovje in matematiko Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
