Clupeidae

Moderate digestion was observed on the only preserved remain attributed to Clupeidae (100 %), followed by Anguillidae (15 %) and Cyprinidae (13 %).

In subtropical regions, the Engraulidae and Clupeidae families are very common in coastal lagoons (Barletta et al., 2010), such as Peri Lagoon in Brazil.

To increase the number of observations available for analysis, up to 50 randomly chosen specimens in the 5 families targeted for analysis (Engraulidae, Clupeidae, Scombridae, Sciaenidae, and Lutjanidae) and unidentified and Percoidei larvae were measured at the NMFS laboratory in Pascagoula, Mississippi.

Las familias Poecilidae, Mugilidae y Clupeidae son ictiofauna importante en los estuarios (Sandoval-Huerta et al., 2014; Bharadhirajan, Murugan, Gopalakershanan, & Murugesan, 2015).

The taxonomic families present in >20% of samples included Pleuronectidae (60.80%), Clupeidae (36.18%), Osmeridae (25.57%), and Cottidae (21.31%).

Only 1 out of the 20 stomachs examined contained halfbeaks and none in the Clupeidae family were identified.

In Brazil, studies focused on the description of the sagitta otolith being: Sciaenidae (CORREA; VIANA, 1992), Carangidae (ABILHOA; CORREA, 1992), Gerreidae (LEMOS et al., 1992), Engraulidae and Clupeidae (LEMOS et al., 1995).

Families with species exhibiting only increased occurrence were Clupeidae, Moronidae, and Sciaenidae.
