Stomach contents of 262 bluefish,Pomatomus saltatrix, were examined to determine whether this species is predatory on young Atlantic menhaden,Brevoortia tyrannus. Food occurred in 209 stomachs, of which 90 per cent contained fish and 14 per cent contained invertebrates. Silversides ranked first both in frequency of occurrence (46 stomachs) and in the number consumed (105). Menhaden occurred in 39 stomachs (19 per cent of the stomachs which contained food), and a total of 46 menhaden had been consumed for an average of 0.2 per bluefish examined.
