Feeding activity of red mullet commenced at dawn and reached its maximum value at noon. During the period between noon to early evening, feeding intensity showed clown and then showed a small increase towards sunset. After sunset, the feeding activity nearly stopped and fish with empty stomachs increased. At night almost all stomachs were empty. Polychaetes, decapods, bivalves, and amphipods were the major prey groups in the diet of red mullet and no significant diel variations were observed in the relative importance of these groups.en10.1017/S0025315402005830info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticle823527528WOS:000176258400026Q4
