In C. arel, males consumed 24 types of food and 

 females had 28 types of prey (Tables 1-2). Polychaetes 

 were slightly more important in diets of males (48.4% 

 IRI) than in females (44.5% IRI) (Tables 1-2, Fig. 2). 



The difference in numbers of identified prey in males 

 and females is due to rare species occurring in some 

 individuals.
