          Abstract

          The present study aims to compare the buccal apparatus and gastrointestinal tract of early life stages of Centropomus undecimalis (Bloch, 1792), and relate them to its diet. A total of 190 individuals collected with a channel net in the Catuama estuary (07º40'9.9''S, 34º50'36.7''W), northern coast of the state of Pernambuco, were examined. Morphometrical and meristic data were analyzed for the two initial developmental periods (larval and juvenile). Their digestive tube was morphologically characterized and its content identified. The longest transverse axis of food items was measured, and compared to the standard length (SL) and mouth gape size (D) of the individuals. Body measurement regressions differed significantly (p<0.001) between larvae and juveniles. The stomachs with food content (n=118 individuals) presented a proportion of 62% full and 30% empty (being 8% damaged). They differed in relation to the fullness level and presented a coiled shape when empty. The number of food items in relation to SL and D did not present an evident correlation. Larvae (SL<10 mm) feed on small copepods, while juveniles (SL=11.1 to 64.7 mm) ingest larvae of various decapod species, showing a distinct diet between these initial developmental stages.

          No intuito de comparar o desenvolvimento do aparato bucal e do trato gastrintestinal de fases iniciais de Centropomus undecimalis (Bloch, 1792), relacionando-os com a dieta, foram analisados 190 indivíduos provenientes de coletas realizadas com rede tipo channel net, no estuário de Catuama (07º40'9,9''S, 34º50'36,7''W), litoral norte de Pernambuco. Foram analisados dados morfométricos e merísticos de indivíduos nos dois períodos de desenvolvimento inicial (larval e juvenil). O tubo digestório foi retirado, caracterizado morfologicamente e seu conteúdo identificado. A maior seção transversal dos itens alimentares foi mensurada, para comparação com o comprimento padrão (CP) dos indivíduos e o tamanho de abertura de suas bocas (D). As regressões das medidas corporais diferiram significativamente (p<0,001) entre as fases larval e juvenil. Os estômagos com alimento (n=118 indivíduos) apresentaram uma proporção de 62% cheios e 30% vazios (sendo 8% danificados), tendo diferido em relação ao grau de repleção e apresentado forma enovelada quando vazios. O número de itens em relação a CP e D não apresentou correlação evidente. As larvas (CP<10 mm) alimentam-se de pequenos copépodos, enquanto os jovens (CP=11,1 a 64,7 mm) ingerem larvas de diferentes espécies de decápodos, evidenciando uma dieta diferenciada entre as duas fases iniciais de desenvolvimento.
