On the basis of monthly samples, we investigated the seasonal variation and feeding habits of amphipods inhabiting Zostera marina beds in Gwangyang Bay. Dominant species $(>1\%$ of the total number of amphipods) consist of 5 gammarids (Gammaropsis japonicus, Jassa slatteryi, Pontogenia rostrata, Atylus collingi and Ceinina japonica) and 1 caprellid (Caprella tsugarensis). Mean densities of amphipods varied from the highest of $63,148\;ind.\;m^{-2}$ in-May to the lowest of $1,247\;ind.\;m^{-2}$ in September. G. japonicus and J. slatteryi dominated in summer whereas C. japonica in autumn and winter. C. japonica was found to be a carnivorous feeder consuming mainly harpacticoid copepods and unidentified crustaceans, whereas G. japonicus, J. slatteryi, and C. tsugarensis consumed both phytoplankton and detritus. Seasonal densities of amphipods were significantly related with the shoot standing crop of the eelgrass and its epiphyte. Also densities of amphipods displayed significant difference in related with the shoot density of the eelgrass among sampling stations. These results suggest that the biological interactions between the eelgrass and amphipods as well as between the carnivorous and the herbivorous amphipods may be important in the seasonal variation of amphipods inhabiting Z. marine beds.

Feeding habits of Sillago japonica collected from in an eelgrass (Zostera marina) bed in Jindong Bay, Korea were studied. S. japonica was a carnivore which consumed mainly gammarid amphipods, polychaetes, bivalves, caridean shrimps and crabs. Its diets also included a small amount of fishes, copepods and caprellid amphipods. The diet of S. japonica underwent significant size-related changes; small individuals (<5cm SL) fed mainly on gammarid amphipods and crab larvae, while proportion of polychaetes and bivalves increased with increasing fish size and gammarid amphipods were also important prey for medium size individuals (5.1-9.9cm SL). The large individuals (>10cm SL) ate polychaetes, caridean shrimps and crabs. The dietary breadth of S. japonica were varied with size. The diet of S. japonica also underwent seasonal changes that could be related to differences in prey availability; gammarid amphipods were mainly consumed in spring and polychaetes in summer.

Amphipoda is a benthic fauna occupying aquatic environments that can be used as a live feed for mud crabs. The abundance of amphipods in the water is thought to impact the preying capacity of crablets, which in turn will affect their growth performance. This study aims to determine the preying capacity of the crablet stage of Scylla tranquebarica exposed at different densities (20, 30, and 40 amphipods / 0.5 L) of amphipod, Grandidierella megnae. The preying capacity was estimated by counting the number of amphipods ingested by an individual crablet during the 60-day rearing period. The main parameters measured were daily consumption rate (DCR), Cumulative molting (CM), Feed conversion ratio (FCR), and the specific growth rate of weight (SGR-W). The results showed that the DCR and FCR were not affected by amphipod densities but the higher the amphipod density the higher the SGR-W and CM. Based on this study, 30 amphipods / 0.5 L is recommended as the optimal density to optimize the DCR and improve the growth performance of crablets. It is also proposed that surplus live feed will potentially reduce the cannibalism rate of crablets during weaning. However, more research needs to be carried out to elucidate the benefits of crablet-feeding amphipods in communal systems.

광양만 대도주변 잘피밭에서 채집된 복섬 유어의 식성을 조사하였다. 복섬 (2$\~$8 cm SL)의 주요 먹이생물은 단각류 (옆새우류 및 카프렐라류), 게류 및 새우류 둥의 갑각류와 복족류였다. 그 외 갯지렁이류, 요각류, 주걱벌레붙이류, 등각류 등이 소량씩 위내용물 중 발견되었다. 복섬이 성장함에 따라 먹이생물의 조성이 점차 변하였다. 체장이 작은 복섬은 옆새우류, 카프렐라류 및 복족류를 주로 먹었으나, 체장이 증가하면서 옆새우류 및 복족류의 비율은 점차 낮아진 반면, 게류 및 새우류가 위내용물 중 차지하는 비율은 증가하였다.

1994년 1월부터 1994년 12월까지 광양만 대도주변 잘피밭에서 채집된 실고기의 식성을 조사하였다. 실고기는 요각류 (Copepoda)와 잘피의 엽상체에 부착하여 서식하는 단각류 (Amphipoda)의 일종인 옆새우류 (Gammaridea)를 주로 섭이하였으며, 그 외, 카프렐라류 (Caprellidea), 주걱벌레붙이류 (Tanaidacea), 곤쟁이류 (Mysidacea) 등을 소량 섭이하였다. 실고기는 성장함에 따라 섭이된 먹이생물 조성의 변동이 뚜렷하였다. 어린 실고기는 요각류를 주로 섭이하였으나, 체장이 증가하면서 옆새우류를 주로 섭이하였다. 먹이생물의 조성은 계절에 따라 변화되었는데, 봄철에는 요각류가, 여름철과 가을철에는 옆새우류가 주로 섭이되었다.

2005년 1월부터 2005년 12월까지 동대만의 잘피밭에서 채집된 돌팍망둑의 식성을 조사하였다. 돌팍망둑의 주요 먹이는 어류 및 새우류였으며, 그 외, 곤쟁이류, 단각류 (옆새우류 및 카프렐라류), 요각류, 두족류, 갯지렁이류 및 게류등이 소량 섭식되었다. 돌팍망둑은 초기에는 요각류와 단각류를 많이 섭식하였으나, 성장함에 따라 어류와 새우류의 섭식율이 점차 증가하였다. 돌팍망둑은 계절에 관계없이 새우류 및 어류를 주로 섭식하였다. 체장별 및 계절별 dietary breadth는 전체적으로 낮게 나타났다.

In sand beaches the benthic macrofauna feeding on primary food sources such as detritus and phytoplankton and being prey in turn for top predators such as fishes occupies a key position in the center of food chains. Amphipods are the most productive bentho-pelagic animals (Barnard, 1963) and are commonly consumed by fishes and larger crustaceans (Vetter, 1995). Consequently, amphipods play an important role in energy flow as a trophic link from primary producers to higher consumers(Chiaravalle et al., 1997).

Feeding habits of Limanda yokohamae collected from the eelgrass bed in Kwangyang Bay were studied. L. yokohamae (1-16 cm SL) was a carnivore which consumed mainly polychaetes. Its diets included a significant quantity of amphipods (gammarids and caprellids) as well as small quantities of gastropods and ophiuroids. L. yokohamae showed ontogenetic changes in feeding habits. Small individuals less than 4 cm SL preyed mainly on amphipods. However, polychaetes were heavily selected with increasing fish size while the portion of the diet attributable to amphipods decreased sharply. Polychaetes were the major prey organisms for all seasons. Dietary breadth of each size class shows relatively low value, and this means that L. yokohamae depends on only few kinds of food organisms.

Feeding habits of Lateolabrax Japonicus collected from the eelgrass bed in Kwangyang Bay from January 1994 to December 1994 were studied. L. Japonicus was a carnivore which consumed mainly amphipods (gammarid amphipods and caprellid amphipods), crabs, caridean shrimps and copepods. Its diets included small quantities of fishes, mysids, polychaetes, tanaids and isopods. Three distinct ontogenetic feeding groups were noted : (1) 1~2 cm SL individuals preyed heavily on copepods. (2) 2~15 cm SL individuals preyed heavily on amphipods. (3) individuals over 15 cm SL preyed heavily on crabs, caridean shrimps and fishes. L. Japonicus showed seasonal changes in prey composition. These changes were not caused by seasonal changes in food availability, but by changes in the size composition of L. Japonicus occurred in the eelgrass bed.

Feeding habits of Rudarius ercodes collected from a Zostera marina bed in Jindong Bay, Korea were studied. R. ercodes was a omnivore which consumed mainly gammarid amphipods, polychaetes and eelgrass (z. marina). Its diets also included a small amount of copepods, urochordates and caprellid amphipods. R. ercodes showed ontogenetic changes in feeding habits. Small individuals less than 2cm SL fed mainly on copepods, however, gammarid amphipods and polychaetes were heavily selected with increasing fish size. The consumption of eelgrass by R. ercodes was $10-20\%$ all size classes. The dietary breadth of R. ercodes were varied with fish size
