Kyphosus elegans, Espectro de alimentación

Resumen

En este estudio se describe la dieta de la Chopa del Mar de Cortés Kyphosus elegans (Peters, 1869) en el área de Loreto, Baja California Sur, México. Los peces (N=55) fueron capturados en abril y julio de
1997. La chopa del Mar de Cortés es considerada como un herbívoro generalista, sin embargo no hay suficientes datos que apoyen esta conclusión. Del contenido estomacal se identificaron un total de 13 géneros de algas y uno de pasto marino. El alga parda Sargassum spp. fue el alimento más frecuente y con mayor contribución en peso. Se concluyó que K. elegans es un consumidor primario con una marcada preferencia por Sargassum spp.
