Abstract
80 words
The food type preferencein the southeast arm of Lake Malawi
was studied. Frequency of occurrence, gravimetric, volumetric
and index of relative importance was used to assess food
preference. It was found that S. njassae is an omnivore,
consuming a range of aquatic insects, detritus, phytoplankton’s
and other fish. Therefore, this species may accept a wide
range of formulated diets that contains ingredients derived from
plants, aquatic macro-invertebrates or animals. This makes the
culturing of this species in captivity potentially possible.
