Abstract
The feeding habits of ocellate spot skate (Okamejei kenojei) were studied by analysis of stomach contents. Specimens of O. kenojei (n=379) were collected in the cosatal waters five west Islands of the Korea, monthly from January to December 2019. The size of O. kenojei ranged from 5.9 to 34.5 cm in disc width (DW). O. kenojei was consumed mainly macrura (77.9%) and pisces (21.9%) in % IRI. But, brachyura, stomatopoda, cephalopods, and others showed a low ratio. The macruara feeding rate was highest in summer, whereas the proportion of pisces was the higher in winter than other seasons.
