Abstract AR

درس تأثير ثلاثة عشر نوعا من أسماك لحمية التغذية على مورد الغذاء في المياه البحرية العراقية، شمال غرب الخليج العربي للمدة من تموز 1998 إلى حزيران 1999.

كشفت النتائج شيوع نزعة التخصص بين أنواع الأسماك المدروسة باعتمادها الرئيسي على الروبيان و صغار الأسماك في التغذية فيما بينها.

كان أكثر الأنواع تأثيرا" على الروبيان هو أسماك الغزال السداسي Polynemus sextarius و على الأسماك هو أسماك أبو الهيل Saurida tumbil.

يبدو أن للروبيان أهمية غذائية أكثر من الأسماك و العناصر الأخرى في منطقة الدراسة.

Abstract EN

The effectiveness of thirteen carnivorous fish species on food resources in Iraqi marine waters, northwest Arabian Gulf were studied from July 1998 to June 1999.

The results revealed that specialization or selectivity is common trend among predators examined, depending mainly upon shrimps and small fishes.

Specialized feeding indicate a clear partitioning of food resources among components.

The most effective fish species on shrimp and fish reserve were Polynemus sextarius and Saurida tumbil respectively.

Shrimps seem to be the most important food item than fishes and others in the study area.
