They were found to be feeding mainly on a soft-bodied prey, which left characteristically shaped faecal pellets and an undigested matrix vesicle as the only evidence of its nature. Pellets from the post-larvae compared closely in shape with those of <span class=\"italic\">Oikopleura dioica</span>, found in the plankton of the spawning area during the period of post-larval development.</p><p>In 1951, undigested <span class=\"italic\">Oikopleura</span> were seen in the oesophageal regions of a few dissected specimens, in addition to typical indigestible remains in a large proportion of the total feeding post-larvae examined.</p><p>Records for 1946 suggest a similar exploitation of the <span class=\"italic\">Oikopleura</span> population by plaice post-larvae, although the phenomenon was not repeated in 1947, when inclement weather may have interfered with the annual outburst of this prey.</p><p>The phenomenon of food selection by plaice post-larvae is discussed, with special reference to the part that vulnerability may play in limiting the number of species of prey available as food.</p><p>A feature of this and other investigations on post-larval feeding, was the occurrence of a high proportion of empty stomachs. An experiment designed to test a regurgitation hypothesis, revealed the existence of a marked diurnal pattern of feeding activity, apparently influenced by light conditions. The importance of light in feeding behaviour was confirmed by tank experiments. In this investigation a large proportion of the empty stomachs encountered can be explained by reference to diurnal fluctuations in feeding activity, supporting the view that plaice post-larvae are visual feeders.</p></div></div></div></div><div class=\"divider less-space\"> ","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"The feeding habits of plaice post-larvae in the Southern Bight","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-02 01:31:12.033807","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":1953,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2020-07-17","DateCreate":"2007-01-24","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1017/S0025315400011474"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":107058,"PubliDate":1953,"Pagination":"149-159","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"32","Issue":"1","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43277,"SerRR":"Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom.
