| Abstract: | Stomach contents of 2,407 brown sole Pleuronectes herzensteini collected from the Sea of Japan off northern Niigata Prefecture, Japan, during 1982-1985 were examined to estimate daily ration. Samples were collected throughout the 24-h day. Instantaneous evacuation rate (R) was estimated from the depletion of stomach contents (percent body weight) with time during the night for using Elliott and Persson's (1978) model. When the obvious feeding periodicity was not seen, R was estimated from the relationship between R and temperature (T) described by Durbin et al. (1983); R=0.043e^0.115T. Gastric evacuation rates were used in conjunction with the field data to estimate the daily ration. Brown sole fed mainly on polychaetes through the year except April 1984. Bregmaceros japonicus (Pisces; Bregmacerotidae) was an important component of the diet in April 1984. Daily ration was high during the post-spawning season and highest in May (4.75% of body weight). In autumn and winter, the daily ration was low and was lowest in February/March, just before the spawning season (0.48% of body weight). The seasonal variation of the daily ration seems to be closely related to physiological conditions. It is estimated that the annual ration was about 831.5% of body weight and about 8,870 metric tons of food were consumed by brown sole per year in this study area. |
