Abstract
The diet of A. paludinosus was investigated at St. Lucia, an estuarine lagoon in South Africa. Crabs are the dominant food item but frogs, insects, prawns and fish are also important. The results are discussed in relation to the feeding of the species in other areas where fewer fish are eaten.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
