| Abstract: | Summary The feeding behaviour of adult Eusirus perdentatus was observed in aquaria. These observations and the analysis of gut contents of preserved specimens demonstrate that this species is a carnivorous predator feeding on polychaetes, amphipods and other small crustaceans. Apparently the localization and capture of prey in aquaria follows a fixed pattern. |
