We examined the stomach contents of juvenile Lophius litulon, which were collected monthly in the coastal waters of Kori, Korea from January to December, 1996. L. litulon was a bottom feeding carnivore which mainly consumed fish, euphausiids, sagittoids, and shrimp. Its diet also included small quantities of copepods amphipods, and stomatopods. It showed distinct ontogenetic changes in feeding habits. Small individuals (1-2 cm SL) mainly preyed on sagittoids and euphausiids. However, individuals eve, 3 cm SL mainly preyed on fish and shrimp.
