Journal Title: Вісник Одеського національного університету. Біологія - Year 2015, Vol 20, Issue 2
Abstract
Altogether, 65 marine, brackish-water, migratory and freshwater fish species belonging to 17 orders, 40 families and 54 genera were found in the Zmiinyi Island area during 2003–2014. Most of them (80.0 %) are bottom and demersal species. The group of pelagic fishes represented a much smaller number of species (13 species – 20.0 %). Among them anchovy, sand smelt, bluefish and horse mackerel form the dense concentrations near the Zmiinyi Island. Diets of the following main pelagic species in the ZmiinyiIslandcoastal waters have been described and analysed: Black Sea anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus ponticus (Alexandrov, 1927), Black Sea sand Atherina pontica (Eichwald, 1831), bluefish Pomatomus saltatrix (L., 1766) and horse mackerel Trachurus mediteraneus ponticus Aleev, 1956. The Relative Importance Index, Food Similarity Index and Species Similarity Index of anchovy and sand, bluefish and horse mackerel have been presented.
