The information given on daily food intake of larval marine fishes such as Sparus aurata (Alessio, 1975), Solea solea (Flücher, 1974), Pleuronectes platessa (Riley, 1966; Howell, 1973), Engraulis mordax (Lasker, 1976; Hunter, 1976), Archosarqus rhomboidalis (Stepien, 1976) frequently do not match, even for similar species. This is possibly because of a wide variability in individual feeding rates and of different rearing conditions. We analyze and model the daily amount in number and in weight of prey eaten by European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) larvae as a function of age, weight and length of the larvae.
