Abstract
Abstract The food and feeding habits of long rough dabs, 23–34 cm long, were investigated from April 1969 to March, 1970. Their special food was primarily epifaunal species. Most important were echinoderms, particularly Ophiura albida, and crustaceans (mysidaceans and Crangon vulgaris). Small molluscs also occurred in relatively large numbers. In this respect the long rough dabs differ in their feeding habits from the plaice and the dab from the same area, which are mainly mollusc/polychaete feeders. There was much less seasonal variation in the feeding habits of the long rough dab than in the other two species.
