Pelagic fish predation on Cerataspis, a rare larval genus of oceanic penaeoids.
Specimens of the larval crustacean genus Cerataspis were found during analysis of the stomach contents of pelagic fishes from the North Atlantic; 87% of the specimens collected were C. monstrosa, 13% C. petiti. Surface-feeding skipjack tuna Katsuwonus pelamis, yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares, black...
