shrimps), and Caridea (caridean shrimps). In addition, 

 all Squillidae were probably Squilla empusa, according 

 to Hopkins et al., (1987). Among fish, many were uniden- 

 tified due to digestion, but if proportions of unidentified 

 fish are similar to identified fish, then dominant fish 

 prey included Halichoeres spp., (5.2 c /r ), Blenniidae (2.2%), 

 and Serranidae (2.2%). Two prey fish were identified to 

 species: Serranus subligarius (1.9%), and Centropristis 

 ocyurus (1.7%). 



Among the squid taxon, one genus dominated: Lolli- 

 guncula spp., (29.59! I, but all squid were either L. brevis 

 or Loligo pealeii (Hopkins et al., 1987). Among shrimp, 

 dominant taxa included Sicyoninae (2.9%), Hippolytidae 

 (2.8%), Penaeidae (2.1%), Squillidae (1.8%), and Alpheidae 

 (1.1%). Among crabs, dominant taxa were mostly Por- 

 tunidae (2.49; ). Other groups showing greater than 1.0% 

 included Chaetognatha [Sagitta sp. 1.69J ), and Ascidiacea 

 or tunicates (1.0%; Table 3).
