Abstract
This study investigated the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, blood, and muscle pH, and explored the characteristic of gut morphology (relative gut length) associated with trophic level in 6 freshwater teleosts. The results showed that GI pH differences among species and significant differences occurred in GI segments (P omnivores > carnivores). A robust link was negatively found between relative gut length and trophic level (P < 0.05).
