Of the 130 stomachs examined, 55 were empty, the 

 remaining 75 all contained recognisable food. 



Crustacea were found in 55 stomachs, or fully 73 %, 

 and comprised Crangon, Mysis, Ampelisca, and other 

 Amphipods. 



Fish were found in 26 stomachs, or fully 34 %. 



Echinoderms were found in one stomach only, or a 

 little over 1 %. 



Annelida were also found in one stomach only. 



In the Firth of Forth district, the same conclusion holds 

 good as to the food of the Grey Gurnard.
