Telestes karsticus Marčić & Mrakovčić 2011 is a newly described, endemic, cyprinid fish species from the Danube Basin. Although understanding of the biology and ecology of an endangered species is crucial for its conservation, the current knowledge ofthe life history of T. karsticus is very limited. The objective of this study was to ascertain the diet of this species. The ratio of gut length vs. standard length was 0.9 ± 0.12. Gut contents revealed that benthic invertebrates accounted for the majority of food consumed, although terrestrial insects, plant material, algae and fish were also found. Since this is the only fish species in this creek, we can conclude that T. karsticus is cannibalistic. T. karsticus can be classified as a euryphagus omnivore. |
