ABSTRACT

The diet composition of the whitespotted conger Conger myriaster was analyzed using 1,047 specimens collected from the coastal waters of the South Sea of Korea. Specimens sizes ranged from 11.4 to 46.8 cm in anal length. C. myriaster mainly fed on Engraulis japonicus (Pisces index of relative importance 82.1%). The dietary composition of C. myriaster did not differ significantly across size classes. As the body size of C. myriaster increased the mean weight of prey within the stomach (mW/ST) also increased (one-way ANOVA, P<0.05).
