Feeding Patterns of Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) in Flemish Pass (Northwest Atlantic)
A qualitative study of the food composition of Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) was made by on-board analysis of commercially caught fish in 1992. The fish were caught east of Newfoundland (NAFO Div. 3LM) in unusually deep waters, with an average of 1 040 m. Variations in feeding according to predator size, depth and month were studied. The annual average percentage of empty stomachs was 69%, increasing through the year for specimens over 60 cm. The frequency of occurrence (FO) of food items was used to evaluate the importance of prey groups. Fish (39%), cephalopods (32%) and d... Mehr ...
