The results indicated a pattern of daytime feeding, with minimum stomach fullness values between 03:45 and 05:40 h and maximum values between 17:06 and 18:13 h. The daily ration of food ingested was 3.9% of individual weight (34.1 cal g-1), appreciably lower than the value reported for this same species in the Black Sea but in good agreement with estimates for other species of the genus Engraulis.
