Abstract

Food habits of co-occurring largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) and spotted bass (M. punctulatus) were documented in two New Mexico reservoirs, Brantley Lake and Sumner Lake, from May 2001 to May 2002. In Brantley Lake, bass ate mainly fish, whereas bass in Sumner Lake ate mainly crayfish. Food habits of both species varied seasonally and there was substantial overlap in the diets of these two species in both reservoirs.
