First Observation of European eel (Anguilla anguilla) As a Prey for Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) in Gediz Delta Ramsar Area (İzmir Turkey)
Abstract

Abstract
Yüzücü ördeklerin genellikle
balık yeme özellikleri olmamakla birlikte bu grup ördeklerden en büyüklerinden
biri olan ve Gediz deltası Ramsar alanı civarında avlanan bir yeşilbaş ördeğin
(Anas platyrhynchos L.1758) mide içeriğinde tatlısu yılan balığına (Anguilla
anguilla L.1758) rastlanmış olup, Türkiye’de gerek ördeğin besin diyetinde
gerekse de yılan balığının tatlısulardaki predatörleri listesine yeni bir tür
eklenmiş olmaktadır.
