Abstract

The feeding habits of brown barracuda (Sphyraena pinguis) were analyzed using the stomach contents of monthly samples collected from coastal waters of Gadeok-do, Korea from January to December, 1998. Brown barracuda occurred mainly from summer to autumn in the study area, and ranged from 15 to 35 cm in standard length. Brown barracuda was a piscivorous fish which, mainly consumed teleost fish such as anchovy (Engranlis japonicus) and chefoo thryssa (Thfssa kammalensis). Its diet also included small quantities of shrimp and cephalopods. Although smaller fishes (<25 cm SL) consumed shrimp and cephalopods as well as fish, larger fishes (>30 cm SL) consumed exclusively teleost fish. The prey size increased with increase of fish size.
