  abstract = {{T}his paper presents a review of the knowledge on the chemical mecanisms of digestion, feeding rates and the digestibility of natural food by {A}frican freshwater fish species. {M}ost of the studies deal with cichlid fishes. {A}mong them, stomach acid secretion is tied to feeding and contributes to the breakdown of algal walls or macrophyte cells. {P}epsin, trypsin and chymotripsin are the main proteases which have been studied ... {B}y comparing enzyme activity and feeding behavior, amylase activity is noticeably greater in herbivores rather than in carnivores. {S}uch differences are less pronounced for the proteases ...{F}eeding patterns and gut passage or gastric evacuation times have been investigated to estimate daily digestion},
