A total of 189 specimens were collected throughout the year of 2012-2013. The mean total length (TL) and mean weight was 99.086.45cm and 545.33116 g, respectively. The condition factor (K) ranged between 0.7 and 0.8. Fish were found in large quantities (87%) in the stomach of the bluespotted cornetfish. While crustaceans (2%) and mollusks (1%).
