Feeding Ecology and Energy consumption of Japanese sea-bass

Tomohiko Mori

Japanese sea-bass, Lateolabrax japonicus, is one of the most popular game fish in Japan. Some of them grow up until 1 m, therefore, they are top predator in coastal water. Field work, it is a good time for me, because I can play game fishing with artificial gear (lure fishing). I am investigating the behavioral ecology, especially feeding behavior (what factor does affect to feeding behavior ?), and estimating energy expenditure (how many prey does sea-bass need ?).
