Feeding interaction of exotic Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758) versus native Coptodon rendalli (Boulenger, 1896) in the upper Kabompo River, northwest of Zambia.
Abstract:Evaluating the feeding interaction of fishes is fundamental in
understanding the impacts of introduced species on the community
structure and ecosystem function of native species. In the Zambian
Rivers, studies have shown that native species has been impacted upon by
exotic Oreochromis niloticus, but few studies have investigated feeding
interactions between exotic Oreochromis niloticus which is omnivorous
and aquaculture preferred herbivorous native species (Coptodon rendalli)
in the natural distribution. We … Show more
