Feeding habits of two congener species of saberams, pagellus bogaraveo and pagellus acarne, off the azores (northeastern atlantic) during spring of 1996 and 1997

摘要

The blackspot seabream, Pagelus bogaraveo, has traditionally been the main target species of the bottom longline fishery in the Azores. However, in recent years several other species have increased in economic importance, including the axially seabream, Pagellus acarne. Despite their comercial value, few studies regarding their diet com- Position were found in the literature. Data were collected during the demersal cruise Surveys that took place aboard the RV ARQUIPELAGO during the spring of 1996 and 1997.
