Abstract
The feeding of Prionotus rubio (Actinopterygii: Scorpaeniformes: Triglidae) was studied on specimens obtained in Gulf of Mexico Waters. Two samplings were carried out in the months of march and october of 2018, in Las Barrancas, Alvarado, Veracruz; with the use of an 800 m long trawl. A total of 67 fish of the species P. rubio was obtained; the stomach contents were extracted and the data were processed by various index. In the first sampling, a total of 19 food items were found, only one belonged to the group of fish and another to the group of mollusks, the rest belonged to the subphylum Crustacea. In contrast to the collection of the second sampling, at least three species of fish were found, 5 mollusks, and the rest were crustaceans, totaling 22 food items and 18 different from those of the first sample. The Levins index yielded a result of 0.69, which considers that this species does not have preference over any according to the observations, it is concluded that this species is carnivorous and feeds mainly on crustaceans.
