Feeding habits of Pholis nebulosa collected from a eelgrass bed in Kwangyang Bay from January 1994 to December 1994 were studied. Pholis nebulosa was a carnivore which mainly consumed epiphytal amphipods. Its diets included minor quantities of caridean shrimps, isopods, copepods, tanaids and polychaetes. It showed ontogenetic changes in feeding habits. In an initial feeding stage, copepods were major food organisms. However, gammarid and caprellid amphipods were heavily selected with increasing fish size. Although gammarid and caprellid amphipods were major prey organisms for all seasons, the relative proportion of these two food items changed with season.

To understand feeding habits of Cheaenogobius mororanus, this study has been conducted by analyzing stomach contents. C. mororanus were monthly collected from the intertidal zone of Dodun-ri, Sochon from May 1997 to April 1998. Fullness of stomach was increased twice a day, in the morning and afternoon. C. mororanus(1.0 ∼5.9 cm in standard length) was a carnivores consuming mainly decapods, amphipods and copepods. (omitted)

This study aimed to evaluate dietary behaviors and food allergy status of preschool children in Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan city. The survey included 592 preschool children aged 1-5 years old in 31 childcare facilities. General characteristics, feeding type, complementary feeding, food allergy, dietary behaviors based on the NQ-P questionnaire, and dietary habits of their family were considered. Exclusively breast-fed children was 32.2% of the subjects and the breast feeding duration was 6.5 months. Subjects who had complementary feeding within 6 months was 77.2% and starting time of complementary feeding was 6.1 months. Fifteen percent of the subjects had food allergies and foods that induced allergy were instant foods, eggs, milk and dairy products, nuts, seafood. Food allergy was not related to breast feeding nor complementary feeding. The NQ-P score and its 3 factors including 'balance', 'moderation', and 'environment' were 59.9, 61.1, 56.0, 62.6, respectively. There were positive relations between children's dietary behaviors and family dietary habits such as breakfast eating frequency and meal regularity. As age of children increased, instant food intake increased and breakfast eating frequency decreased. Proper nutrition education is needed to children, their parents, and their care givers at childcare facilities to improve children's dietary behavior and health.

The feeding habits of the marbled flounder Pleuronectes yokohamae were studied using 395 specimens collected from January to December, 2010, in the coastal waters off Tongyeong, Korea. The size of P. yokohamae ranged from 10.5 to 38.8 cm in standard length (SL). P. yokohamae is a bottom-feeding carnivore that consumes mainly bivalves, amphipods and polychaetes. Its diet also includes small quantities nemertians, anthozoan, isopods, copepods, tanaidacean, shrimps, crabs and ophiuroids. Our feeding-strategy graphical method reveled that P. yokohamae was a generalized feeder, with a wide niche width. P. yokohamae mainly consumed bivalves, amphipods and polychaetes, and did not show significant ontogenetic changes in feeding habit without size over 22 cm. Prey size did not increase significantly as growing fish size.

Feeding habits of Favonigobius gymnauchen collected from the eelgrass bed in Kwangyang Bay from January 1994 to December 1994 were studied. Favonigobius gymnauchen was a carnivore which consumed mainly gammarid amphipods, polychaetes, crabs and copepods. Its diets included minor Quantities of gastropods, tanaids and isopods. It showed ontogenetic changes in feeding habits. Small individuals (1$\~$2 cm) fed mainly on gammarid amphipods, polychaetes, and copepods. While the portion of the stomach contents attributable to polychaetes and crabs increased steadily with incensing fish size, consumption of copepods decreased progressively. Gammarid amphipods were the most selected prey item for all size classes. Although gammarid amphipods, polychaetes, crabs and copepods were major prey organisms for all seasons, the relative proportion of these food items changed with season. Consumption of copepods was relatively high in spring and fall and consumption of gammarid amphipods, polychaetes and crabs was relatively high in summer.

Feeding habits of Sebastes inermis collected from the eelgrass bed in Kwangyang Bay from January 1994 to December 1994 were studied. S. inermis ($1\~9\;cm\;SL$) was a carnivore which mainly consumed amphipods (gammarid amphipods and caprellid amphipods) and copepods. Its diets included small quantities of caridean shrimps, crabs, gastropods, and fishes. It showed ontogenetic changes in feeding habits. In an initial stage, copepods were major food organisms. However, amphipods were heavily selected as the body size of S. inermis increases. Although consumption of copepods increased during spring, amphipods were major prey organisms for all seasons.

The feeding habits of the black-edged sculpin Gymnocanthus herzensteini were studied using 944 specimens collected from February 2011 to January 2012 in the coastal waters off Mukho, Gangwondo, Korea. The G. herzensteini ranged from 11.8 to 36.3 cm in total length (TL). The percentage of empty stomachs in G. herzensteini was 40.2%, and the main prey items were Pisces, Euphausiasea, and Macrura. The smallest size group (11.8-15.0 cm TL) consumed mainly Polychaeta and Amphipoda. The quantity of prey increased in proportion to sculpin size. The composition of prey items and feeding habits of G. herzensteini exhibited seasonal fluctuations, that is, the main prey items during spring were Euphausiasea, whereas those during other seasons were Pisces.

The feeding habits of sandfish, Arctoscopus japonicus were studied by examining the stomach contents of 2,115 specimens collected between April 2003 and March 2004 in the East Sea of Korea. The standard length (SL) of the specimens ranged from 9.8 to 22.9 cm. The main prey items of A. japonicus were amphipods, mysids, cephalopods and fishes. They showed ontogenetic changes in feeding habits. Individuals of small size (9~16 cm, SL) fed mainly on small prey organisms such as mysids and amphipods. However, more cephalopods and fishes were consumed with increasing fish size (16~23 cm, SL).

Feeding habits of A. luridus were studied by analyzing the stomach contents of monthly collected fish from the intertidal zone of Dodun-ri, Sochon from July 1996 to June 1997. Fullness of stomach increased twice a day, first in the morning and second in the afternoon. A. luridus (1.2-5.9 em in standard length) was a carnivore consuming mainly decapods (natantia larvae, Acetes japonicus, Penaeus japonicus and reptantia larvae), amphipods (caprellids, gammarids and hyperiids) and copepods (Acartia sp., Calanus sinicus, Corycaeus affinis, and Microsetella sp.). Its diets also included minor quantities of isopods, cirriped larvae, polychaete larvae and stomatopods. According to fish size, some changes in feeding habits were apparent, i.e. smaller fish preferred to prey in the following order : copepods < decapods < amphipods. However, as the size increased, decapods and amphipods were selected.

Feeding habits of Acentrogobius pflaumii collected from the eelgrass bed in Kwangyang Bay from January 1994 to December 1994 were studied. Acentrogobius pflaumii was a carnivore which consumed mainly gammarid amphipods, polychaetes and gastropods. Its diets included minor quantities of cope pods, tanaids and crabs. It showed ontogenetic changes in feeding habits. Individuals of 1~2cm SL preyed heavily on gammarid amphipods. However, polychaetes and gastropods were selected with increasing fish size. Although gammarid amphipods, polychaetes, and gastropods were major prey organisms for all seasons, the relative proportion of these food items changed with season. Consumption of gammarid amphipods and polychaetes was relatively high in summer, and consumption of gastropods was relatively high in winter.
