Abstract
The feeding habits of larval Ammodytes japonicus were examined. A total of 208 individuals were collected by RN80 Net from January to February, 2019 in the coastal waters of Gujora and Mangchi, Geoje, Korea. Range of notochord length of larval A. japonicus was 1.46~8.00 mm and fed mainly on copepods that constituted 99.9% in %IRI. The results of analysis in ontogenetic changes, divided with 3 classes (≤2 mm, 3~4 mm, ≥5 mm, Notochord length), was all classes mainly fed copepods. An opposite relationship was found between the calanoida and cyclopoida. When percentage of calanoida of copepods increased, cyclopoida of copepods decreased.
