Abstract
Stomachs of 385 specimens of Seriola dumerili (Risso, 1810) have been analysed. Their coefficient of repletion is 50.8% in juveniles and 90 3% in adults. Juveniles feed almost exclusively on Teleostei with Engr aulis encrasicholus and Sardina pilchardus as the main food; Cephalopo da (Loligo vulgaris and Sepiola sp.) and Crustacea (Squilla mantis) ar e also eaten. Adults feed on a great diversity of Teleostei headed by S. pilchardus and Merluccius merluccius.
