Abstract

Abstract In September 1964 observations on the feeding behavior of little tuna (Euthynnus alletteratus) were made at Cannouan Island, Grenadine Islands, Lesser Antilles. The observations took place at night during a night-light station in shallow water. Little tuna were observed to form a phalanx-like orientation while apparently feeding on a large aggregation of dwarf herring (Jenkinsia lamprotaenia) directly under the floating night-light. Similar behavior patterns have not been reported on previously.
