Kelp bass (Paralabrax clathratus) and barred sand bass (P. nebulifer) diets are analyzed between seasons at Punta Banda estuary, Baja California, Mexico (1992-1993). Beam-trawl and otter-trawl tows (5m depth) collected kelp bass of 40-110mm SL range, and P. nebulifer of 30-230mm; overall, gammarid amphipods dominated their diets in index of relative importance, (IRI; 79.4% and 50.9%, respectively). In kelp bass, gammarids had highest IRI in summer (89.3%) and winter (74.9%), with a fish occurrence of 1.6-12.2%, and eelgrass remains of 0.8-7.1%. In P. nebulifer, summer to winter IRI of gammarids were 40.0-88.4%, and occurrence (43.8-65.6%), numeric (65.2-95.0%), and weight (2.5-49.8%). Kelp bass and barred sand bass numeric diet breadth in summer were 0.038 and 0.12, respectively, and 0.031 and 0.013 in winter; for kelp bass, weight diet breadth were 0.031-0.27, and for barred sand bass 0.18-0.26. Dietary overlap between basses was low (<0.60), and by seasonal numbers (<0.49) and weights (<0.24). Nu meric diet breadth was influenced by small prey with high numeric dominance (gammarids). Despite the low niche overlap at Punta Banda estuary, both species showed close trophic affinities by occupying eelgrass beds and adjacent areas. Inglés
