Sažetak
Three fresh water fish species were examined: Stizostedion lucioperca (L. 1758), Cyprinus carpio (L. 1758) and Ctenopharyngodon idella (Cuv. et Val., 1848). They display a significant biodiversity: S. lucioperca is predator, its food consist of other fish or fish juvenile. C. carpio is omnivorous, feeding essentially on small crustaceans, worms and seeds, while C. idella is herbivorous. As a result of different food sources those species have also developed a different way of pray taking. Morphofuncional analysis of mandible bones as well as four points in syncranium (cranial end of Premaxilla, Hyomandibulare connection with neurocranium, Quadrate-articular facet, cranial end of Dentale) and angles between them, was done in order to explain differences between chosen species in the moment of mouth opening.
