HI James,

Fish base is a good place start to look at diets/habits of different fish species, it also gives
alot of other very relevant information.

http://www.fishbase.org/search.cfm

The following references should also be a good starting point - I would also be interested in seeing
any other references people may have related to this subject (fish & bioerosion rates).

Goodluck 
Jennie
