P. Schintu, M. Passariello, A. Belluscio and G.D. Ardizzone

Bothus podas is examined from six trawl surveys made in the Central Mediterranean Sea. For the whole sample the growth parameters are L = 175 mm, K = 0.498 and t0 = -0.71. The analyses of gastric content showed Crustaceans, Polychaetes, Gastropods and Bivalves as being the main diet of Bothus podas, with a constant predator activity during the examined seasons.

Keywords: Bothus podas, growth, diet, Mediterranean Sea.
