The Spearman rank correlation coefficient showed that the diet composition between 1 to 3 year classes and > 8 years class were not significantly correlated. The index of relative importance, !Ri % obtained in the present study demonstrated that the diet composition of A. lotus in Hiroshima Bay was mainly composed of polychaetes, bivalves and dccapods.

summary Yellowfin black seabream, Acanthopagrus latus is a common Sparidae fish inhabiting Hiroshima Bay. In addition, Black seabream, Acanthopagrus schlegelii is a closely related species to A.
