A method to reconstruct anguilliform Wshes from partially digested items

Résumé

Estimating the amounts of resources consumed by individuals is important in many studies. For predators, allometric relationships can be used to extrapolate the size of preys from undigested remains found in the stomach and in the faeces. However, such equations are available for a limited number of species. Based on a large sample size gathered in New Caledonia on both predators (sea kraits) and their preys (anguilliform Wshes), we provide the Wrst allometric relationships that allow estimating accurately the mass and the size of various anguilliform Wsh species.
