The feeding habits of the Pacific bluefin tuna, Thunnus orientalis were examined based on the stomach contents of 330 specimens caught by offshore large purse seine fishery in the southern sea of Korea, 2011. The size of Pacific bluefin tuna used in this study ranged from 34.1 to 67.3 cm in fork length (FL). The percentage of empty stomachs was 41.8%. The main prey items were Pisces and Cephalopoda based on percentage IRI (index of relative importance). The main fish preys were Trachurus japonicus, Bregmaceros japonicus, Engraulis japonicus, and Cephalopoda were Todarodes pacificus, Loligo edulis, Watasenia scintillans. T. orientalis showed ontogenetic change in diet composition. Although Pisces dominated the diet of all length classes the portion of Cephalopoda was relatively higher in size between 40 and 50 cm other than length classes. In terms of seasonal variation in feeding habits, Pisces was the main prey group in all seasons, but Cephalopoda was also frequently consumed during spring and autumn based on %IRI.

The feeding habits of the blackthroat seaperch Doederleinia berycoides were studied using 650 specimens collected in the Southern Sea of Korea, from January to December, 2005. The size (standard length, SL) of the specimens ranged from 6.3 to 35.2 cm. D. berycoides is a piscivore that consumes mainly teleosts such as Engraulis japonicus, Acropoma japonicum, and Myctophum nitidulum. Of the fish species Engraulis japonicus was the preferred prey. D. berycoides also eats small quantities of shrimps, amphipods, euphausiids, mysids, and crabs. D. berycoides showed ontogenetic changes in its feeding habits. Smaller individuals (5-10 cm SL) fed mainly on shrimp. The proportion of shrimp decreased with increasing fish size, and this decrease paralleled the increased consumption of fish. Fish accounted for almost all of the stomach contents of individuals larger than 15 cm SL. Cluster analysis based on the percentage dry weight (%DW) identified two size groups: group A (<15 cm SL) consumed primarily shrimp and fish; and group B (15< cm SL) preyed exclusively on fish. There was little seasonal change in the diet of D. berycoides, but shrimp constituted 41.8% of the summer diet in %W.

The feeding habits of the Pacific cod Gadus macrocephalus were studied by analyzing the stomach contents of 423 specimens caught by coastal gill net in the coastal waters off Jumunjin, Gangwondo, Korea, from January to December, 2011. The size of Pacific cod ranged from 31.0 to 86.5cm in total length (TL). The proportion of empty stomachs was 25.1%. The main prey items were Macrura, Pisces, and Cephalopoda. In order of abundance, the most dominant species of Macrura, were Pandalus eous, Argis lar, and Neocrangon communis, and the most dominant species of Pisces, were Clupea pallasii, Actoscopus japonicus, and Glyptocephalus stelleri. Berryteuthis magister was the most dominant species of Cephalopoda. In terms of variation in feeding habits by growth, Macrura was the most important prey group for G. macrocephalus ranging in TL from 30- to 55 cm, but Pisces was the most important prey group for cod over 56 cm TL. Catch of G. macrocephalus was significantly positively correlated to catch of the three major Pisces prey species Clupea pallasii, Actoscopus japonicus and Glyptocephalus stelleri.

1994년 1월부터 1994년 12월까지 광양만 대도주변 잘피밭에서 채집된 문절망둑의 식성을 조사하였다. 문절망둑의 주요 먹이생물은 갯지렁이류(Polychaeta), 게류(Brachyura), 새우류(Caridea), 옆새우류 (Gammaridea) 및 어류 (Pisces) 등 다양하였다. 그 외, 거미불가사리류 (Ophiuroidea), 복족류 (Castropoda), 이매패류 (Bivalvia), 카프렐라류 (Caprellidea), 집게류 (Anomura), 등각류 (Isopoda), 주걱벌레 붙이류 (Tanaidacea)등을 소량 먹었다. 문절망둑은 성장함에 따라 먹이생물 조성의 변화를 보였는데, 작은 체장에서는 갯지렁이류와 단각류를 주로 먹었다. 그러나 체장이 증가하면서 갯지렁이류와 단각류를 먹는 비율은 감소한 반면, 새우류, 게류 및 어류의 점유율은 증가하였다. 성어 단계에서는 매우 다양한 먹이생물을 먹는 것으로 나타났다. 계절에 따라 먹이생물의 조성이 변하였는데, 봄과 가을에는 갯지렁이류, 새우류 및 옆새우류의 점유율이 높았으나, 여름과 겨울에는 어느 특정 먹이생물이 우점하지 않고 비교적 고른 분포를 보였다.

Feeding habits of white croacker, Pennahia argentata, were analyzed by using the stomach contents of 153 specimens caught by bottom trawl from May 2011 to March 2012 in the Sejon island, Korea. To know feeding habits of the white croacker, P. argentata, a species composition and it's fluctuation were analyzed based on growth. White croacker, P. argentata caught in the area composes 15 species. The most species in an number of the prey was Macrura which was occupied at 66.4% from whole prey, the second most species was Pisces which was occupied at 20.3%. The most species in an wet-weight of the prey was Pisces which was 49.3% out of the whole specimens. The second most species was Macrura which was 43.3%. The frequency occurrence of the prey was Macrura which was 68.6%, the next one was Pisces which was 28.8%. The highest Index of Relative Importance (IRI) of the prey was Macrura which was 78.2%, the next one was Pisces which was 28.8%. A number of the prey per specimen of small, middle and large class were 1.3, 1.5, 1.7, respectively. A wet weight of the prey per specimen of small, middle and large class were 0.2, 0.6, 0.2 g, respectively.

1994년 1월부터 1994년 12월까지 광양만 대도주변 잘 피밭에서 채집된 붕장어의 식성을 조사하였다. 붕장어의 주요 먹이는 어류, 새우류 및 게류였다. 그밖에 옆새우류, 복족류, 두족류, 갯지렁이류, 곤쟁이류, 쿠마류, 등각류 등이 위내용물 중 발견되었다. 붕장어가 성장함에 따라 먹이생물의 조성이 점차 변하였다. 체장이 작은 붕장어는 새우류, 어류, 게류 그리고 옆새우류를 고르게 먹었으나, 체장이 증가하면서 옆새우류와 새우류의 점유율은 점차 감소하였고, 어류의 점유율은 점차 증가하였다. 붕장어는 계절에 따른 환경 생물의 조성과는 관계없이 특정 생물을 먹이로 선호하는 경향을 보였다. 특히 어류는 다른 환경 생물에 비해 잘피밭 환경에서 출현량이 많지 않았음에도 불구하고 연중 지속적으로 선택되는 먹이생물이었다.

채집기간 동안 총 315개체의 점망둑 (Chaenogobius annularis)이 채집되었으며, 8.6%의 공복률을 보였다. 점망둑의 가장 중요한 먹이생물은 상대중요성지수비 50.5%를 차지한 요각류(Copepoda)였다. 요각류 다음으로 해조류(Seaweed)가 우점하였으며, 그 외 곤쟁이류(Mysidacea), 만각류(Cirripedia), 단각류(Amphipoda) 등도 섭식하였으나 그 양은 많지 않았다. 점망둑은 성장함에 따라 요각류의 섭식은 감소하였고 해조류의 섭식이 증가하였다.

Feeding habits of released Sebastes inermis obtained in daily and monthly collections from August 2007 to December 2007 in coastal waters off Jam Island in Jinhae Bay, Korea were assessed. A total 151 individuals of S. inermis (6.3-9.7 cm TL) were recaptured during the study period. Initial food intake of released S. inermis occurred within three days of released. Stomach content index increased with time, however, the percentage of stomachs devoid of contents decreased. Sebastes inermis mainly consumed gammarid and caprellid amphipods, gastropods and mysids. Diet also included small quantities of bivalves, shrimps, copepods and ostracods. Amphipods were mainly consumed at all size groups and consumption of gastropods, bivalves and shrimps increased with increasing fish size.

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 dolphinfish Coryphaena hippurus, were analyzed. Fish samples were collected by using a purse seine, fishing and set net in the southern sea of Korea from January to December 2015. The size of C. hippurus ranged from 23.8 to 127.4 cm in fork length. The species with the highest percent index of relative importance (%IRI; the most important prey taxa) in the diets of C. hippurus were teleosts and cephalopod, including Engraulis japonicus, Thamnaconus modestus and Trachurus japonicus, Loligo edulis was the most frequently consumed cephalopods. Coryphaena hippurus also ate small amounts of amphipods and carid shrimp. The dietary compositions of C. hippurus was not significantly different among size classes or seasons (ANOSIM, P>0.05). As body size of C. hippurus increased the mean number of prey per stomach (mN/ST) tended to decrease, but the opposite trend was evident for mean weight of prey per stomach (mW/ST). The mN/ST and mW/ST also significantly varied with season (one-way ANOVA, P<0.05).
