%X Diet of 300 specimens of <i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Bryconaethiops</span></i> <i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">boulengeri</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> from Djiri River (Congo Brazzaville) caught with cash
nets was studied according to the size of fish, sampling stations and
hydrological season. Sampling focused on twelve annual withdrawals made </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">during th</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">ree years. The relative importance index combining numerical and weight
percentages of occurrence was calculated and also the sex ratio was evaluated. </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Bryconaethiops</span></i> <i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">boulengeri</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> consumes terrestrial and aquatic insects and everything
that falls into the water (birds feathers, plant debris, fruits, etc</span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">.</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">). The percentage of emptiness is 9.66% of the three sampling stations selected;
no significant difference in diet was observed whatever the season.</span>
