NOTE Food and Ontogenetic Shifts in Feeding
Food habits were studied in goosefish, Lophius americanus, collected off southern New England in the western North Atlantic. Analysis of stomach contents indicated goosefish fed opportunistically on a wide variety of species, primarily fishes. Invertebrates were im-portant in the diet of small (<...

Food habits were studied in goosefish, Lophius americanus, collected off southern New England in the western North Atlantic. Analysis of stomach contents indicated goosefish fed opportunistically on a wide variety of species, primarily fishes. Invertebrates were im-portant in the diet of small (<200 mm total length) goosefish but larger goosefish fed almost exclusively on fishes. In larger goosefish a high incidence of empty stomachs was found, suggesting a low frequency of feeding. Conspecifics were a relatively important prey of larger goosefish. |
