The feeding habits of the redbanded searobin Lepidotrigla guentheri were studied using 186 specimens collected from September to November, 2006, in the coastal waters off Gori, Korea. The sizes of L. guentheri ranged from 7.1 to 16.7 cm total length(TL). L. guentheri is a bottom-feeding carnivore that consumes mainly shrimp, especially Leptochela sydniensis, amphipods, and crabs. Its diet also includes small quantities of stomatopods, mysids, cumaceans, euphausiids, polychaetes, and copepods. Our feeding-strategy graphical method reveled that L. guentheri is a specialized feeder, with a narrow niche width. L. guentheri mainly consumed shrimp of all size classes and did not show significant ontogenetic changes in feeding habits. Smaller individuals(7-11 cm TL) secondly consumed amphipods, with the portion of amphipods in the total diet decreasing as body size increased. Prey size increased significantly as the fish grew in size.
