Interacções tróficas entre sardinha (S. pilchardus) e cavala (S. colias)

Interacções tróficas entre sardinha (S. pilchardus) e cavala (S. colias)

Abstract

A sardinha Ibero-Atlântica (Sardina pilchardus) e a cavala (Scomber colias) são importantes espécies pelágicas dos ecossistemas marinhos do Atlântico, quer do ponto de vista ecológico, quer do ponto de vista económico. Esta tese tem por objectivo estudar a alimentação de sardinha e de cavala e possíveis interacções tróficas entre ambas as espécies visto que estas partilham espaço e recursos alimentares. Estudou-se a dieta das duas espécies, capturadas na costa sul portuguesa entre Junho e Setembro, através da análise de presas nos conteúdos estomacais. Verificou-se que as principais presas nas suas dietas foram crustáceos (maioritariamente copépodes) pertencentes aos mesmos grupos taxonómicos, não se tendo verificado uma partição do zooplâncton com base no tamanho para as duas espécies. Os dados obtidos apontaram para a existência de uma sobreposição das dietas e potencial para competição. A sardinha apresentou um coeficiente de vacuidade elevado que foi mais acentuado quando em presença da cavala e observou-se a existência de uma alteração na dieta de cavala passando a alimentar-se de itens de maiores dimensões à medida que aumentava de tamanho. Os resultados constatam a existência provável de interacções tróficas entre estas duas espécies, sardinha e cavala.
