The stomach contents of 344 four-spotted megrim, (Lepidorhombus boscii) and 159 megrim (Lepidorhombus whiffiagonis), off the eastern coast of the Gulf of Valencia (Spain), were analysed. The two species examined do not appear to have very similar diets, based on the species composition of prey. The vacuity coefficient is not high for any of the species, the main food being Crustacea (Decapoda and Mysidacea). Also Amphipoda and Teleostei are components of the diet. Variations in the food of both fish related to their length show few small crustaceans as prey of the major specimens. Finally, there was evidence for seasonal variation of the quality and quantity of the food consumed. There was no great dietary overlap between these two species.

The feeding ecology of ring-billed gull chicks from hatching to fledging was studied on an insular colony near Presqu'ile Provincial Park, Ontario, during the summer of 1977. A principal objective was to determine changes in food type and frequency of feedings during chick development and among temporally spaced broods.Two daily peaks in chick feeding occurred with the first shortly after sunrise and the second just prior to sunset. The frequency at which chicks were fed peaked when they were 4 days old and declined steadily thereafter. Chicks younger than 5 days were fed insects and fish while chicks older than 5 days were fed mainly fish. Seasonal variation in food type fed to chicks changed from insects and fish early in the season to predominantly fish late in the season. The incidence of earthworms in feedings correlated with preceding periods of high humidity or rain.
