Abstract  

We found three Oreochromis sp.Larvae in the gut of an adult female mosquito fish(Gambusia affinis) with the body length of 24.10 mm,which was collected from the Ming Lake,Guangzhou on Mar.18,2009.Body length of those Oreochromis sp.larvae was 6.68, 5.85 and 5.67 mm,respectively.This finding indicated that the two invasive species,mosquito fish and Oreochromis sp.,may interact by such predation in the Ming Lake.

Key wordsmosquito fish(Gambusia affinis)      Oreochromis sp.      larva      predation
