| The report provides information on the importance of Caridean shrimps in the food of juvenile <i>Trigla species</i> (gurnard), <i>Agonus cataphractus</i> (hook-nose) and <i>Liparis liparis</i> (sea snail) in the Belgian coastal waters, and gives some biometric data related to stomach content and composition. The results show the importance of Caridean shrimps, especially <i>Crangon crangon</i>, as a food source for perciform fish species in inshore waters. The records of the chameleon prawn, <i>Hippolyte varians</i> in fish stomachs and in trawl and grab samples are compared, and the actual knowledge on the distribution and abundance of this shrimp species is discussed. |
