摘要

Abstract

Based on two bottom trawl surveys conducted in autumn 2000 and 2001

a total of 1106 stomach samples of Bombay duck Harpadon nehereus between 23–278 mm fork length were collected and analyzed. The results show that Bombay duck prey items consisted of 11 groups or 32 species

of which Apogon lineatus

Leptochela gracilis

Acetes chinensis

and Euphausia pacifi ca were the dominant prey species. Ontogenetic variations were found in feeding habits and feeding activity of Bombay duck. Feeding activity was highest in fish smaller than 50 mm

lowest in fish between 50 and 99 mm

and then increased with increasing size thereafter. As Bombay duck size increased

fish prey increased in importance

whereas euphausiids and decapods decreased in importance. Different trophic guilds were observed in feeding habits across the examined size range. Bombay duck smaller than 50 mm were zooplanktivores

mainly feeding on zooplankton and fish larva; those between 50 and 149 mm were generalist predators

mainly feeding on pelagic shrimps

demersal shrimps and fishes; and those larger than 150 mm were piscivores

mainly feeding on fishes.
