| Özet |
| Feeding habits and dietary preferences of wels catfish (Silurus glanis) were investigated in Sıddıklı Dam Lake through the examination of 200 individuals. The results revealed that the species predominantly exhibited piscivorous feeding characteristics, with Tinca tinca (IRI% = 78.93) identified as the primary food source. The food items in the stomach showed a wide spectrum, ranging from benthic invertebrates, crustaceans, molluscs, amphibians, and mammals to fishes. The study not only assessed the general food composition of wels catfish but also delved into the seasonal variations in diet composition. It was found that the stomach fullness index (FI) varied significantly among the seasons, with Winter showing the highest values (0.827). On the other hand, the lowest value was detected in the Autumn season (0.480). Age and length groups were also considered, with notable differences in stomach FI and diet … |
