Abstract

THAT heterogeneous feeding relationship (Ivlev, 1961) in a sardine may be
associated with the progressive development of gill rakers during ontogeny
has become evident from the studies on the food of the Pacific sardine,
Sardinops caerulea (Scofield, 1934) and the Japanese sardine, Sardinops
melanosticta (Tokai Regional Fisheries Research Laboratory, 1960). This
aspect has been referred to by other workers also (Larraneta, 1960) but not
yet studied properly. A closely related problem is selective feeding, the
investigation of which requires simultaneous collections of plankton and
sardine samples, as borne out by the studies of Hand and Berner (1959) on
the food of the Pacific sardine and of various workers on hsrxmg-Calanus
relationship (Gushing, 1955).
