Abstract
The feeding habits of bluefin searobin (Chelidonichthys spinosus) were studied based on the examination of stomach contents of 646 specimens collected from January 2005 to December 2005 in the coastal waters off Busan, Korea. The size of C. spinosus ranged from 14.0 to 38.9 cm in standard length (SL). C. spinosus mainly consumed shrimps such as Solenocera melantho, Leptochela sydniesis and Trachysalambria curvirostris. Its diet also included crabs and fishes. Smaller individuals (15~25 cm SL) consumed small shrimps such as L. sydniesis, crabs and fishes. The portion of these prey items decreased with increasing fish size, and this decrease was paralleled with increased consumption of lager shrimps such as S. melantho and Trachysalambria curvirostris. The prey size increased with the increase of fish size.
