Description 307-311
Atule mate exhibits two types of feeding patterns, the juveniles feeding mainly on
crustaceans and the adults exclusively on fishes. Low intensity of feeding was
observed in juveniles, males and females. Juveniles had high diet breadth
(2.86) when compared to the males (1.86) and females (2.10). The overlap
studies showed clustering of high overlaps in the younger and older length
groups. The dendrogram of the diet at various length groups showed two
principal clusters, one at 91-150 mm (TL) length group and another at 151-280
mm (TL) length group. As per the cluster analysis two types of food patterns
are evident in this species.
