Abstract

A study was conducted to investigate the food and feeding habits of Nemipterus peronii from the South China Sea. Diets consisted of fish Leiognathus elongatus L. splendens Upeneus sulphureus U. vittatus Nemipterus sp. Trichiurus sp. Selaroides leptolepis and Saurida sp. shrimps crabs squids and miscellaneous decomposed organic and inorganic substances. Fish shrimps and crabs constituted the main diets. The lowest percentage (0) of empty stomaches was observed in August and highest in December (45). Shrimps were absent in the stomaches of length class 9.6 to 11.5 cm while squids were absent in the stomaches of length class smaller than 13.5 cm. Relative importance of food items is presented
