Feeding and Food Consumption of Long-finned Squid (Loligo pealei) and Short-finned Squid (111ax illeoebrosus) in Subareas 5 and 6, Northwest Atlantic*
Preliminary estimates were made of quarterly and annual quarterly and annual consumption by Illex and Lollygo in Subareas 5 and 6, for 1979 and 1980. Euphausiids made up a considerable proportion of the diet of both species in the spring offshore. Overall, predation on fish was greater by Loligo and...

| Summary: | Preliminary estimates were made of quarterly and annual quarterly and annual consumption by Illex and Lollygo in Subareas 5 and 6, for 1979 and 1980. Euphausiids made up a considerable proportion of the diet of both species in the spring offshore. Overall, predation on fish was greater by Loligo and cannibalism was greater by Illex. Consumption estimates varied with feeding intensity and biomass. |
