Abstract: The feeding habits and the diel feeding periodicity of the searobin Prionotus punctatus were investigated at Ubatuba region (22"3O'S) in the western South Atlantic. The samples were collected during consecutive 3 h periods over 24 h in January, 1987 and July and December, 1988. The diel feeding activity analysis indicated that Prionotus punctatus was a daytime feeder with afternoon tendency, permitting to bring up the hypothesis of the circadian rythm. The maio food items were Portunidae crabs in Summer, and P… Show more

“…Afterwards, the contents were identified in taxonomic groups and weighed. The digestion degree of each prey was registered in three levels, as follows: undigested, with no signs of digestion = 1; partially digested, but identifiable = 2; and digested without identification with presence of otoliths, crystalline, and other appendages = 3 (Soares and Apelbaum, 1994).…”
