Ecology Summary - Bellottia apoda
Ecology of Bellottia apoda
 
Main Ref. Gramitto, M.E. and B. Coen, 1997
Remarks Bellottia apoda has a nocturnal activity, because of its nocturnal catchability and the great number of full stomachs (Ref. 13359). It is a carnivorous predator, the food appears to be a mixture of planktonic and benthic preys, which indicates a bentho-pelagic feeding behaviour (Ref. 13359).
