Predation of the invasive freshwater mussel Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857) (Mytilidae) by the fish Leporinus obtusidens valenciennes, 1846 (Anostomidae) in the Rio de la Plata, Argentina

A study of the presence of the freshwater mussel Limnoperna fortunei in the diet of the native fish Leporinus obtusidens was performed in Costanera Norte, Buenos Aires. Fish were collected monthly for a 1-year period to analyze their digestive tracts. From a total of 157 fish collected (20-55 cm tot...
