Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sardines fishes (Sardinella longiceps<\/em>)\nwere brought from the Iraqi regional marine waters, Basra, during March and\nApril 2019, to study the natural food selectivity using Manly`s \u03ac index to\ndetermine the natural food selectivity, and food ingredients percentage,\nbesides fullness index. Fish samples were transported to the laboratory using a\ncontainer of cork after adding crushed ice to reduce food losing during\ntransporting, where the average of total length was 16.2, 17.7 cm and the\nweight average valued 26.586 and 29.934 grams during March and April\nrespectively. The results showed that the stomach fullness index attained 55\nand 85% of all samples and fullness index reached 40.39 and 62.77 during March\nand April respectively. The percentages of nutritional components inside the\nstomach were as follow: animal`s remains 36%, crustacean`s remains 27%, fish`s\nresidues 12%, phytoplankton and diatoms 17% and other digested materials 8%\nduring March, while in  April the values were\nas follow: zooplankton 33%, crustacean`s remains 18%, fish`s residues 10%,\nphytoplankton and diatoms 28% and other digested materials  11%. The results showed that the food of the\nfishes from an animal`s origin was the prevailing food in the stomachs with an\naverage of 0.25363, 0.21035 and 0.19804 of zooplankton, fish`s residues and\ncrustacean`s remains from the total food during the study respectively\n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
