Sažetak
Feeding habits of species Mustelus mustelus and M. punctulatus are investigated. 58 stomachs of M. punctulatus (TL = 69.5 - 111.3 cm), of which 50 (86.2 percent) stomachs contained food, and 49 stomachs of M. mustelus (TL = 70.5 - 135.7 cm), of which 42 (85.7 percent) stomachs contained food, were investigated. Crustacea Decapoda was the most numerous prey in the diet of both species and Sardina pilchardus, Engraulis encrasicolus, Trachinus spp. and Boops boops among the teleosts. These results indicate a great similarity in the feeding of both species as wel as it shown that they are both voracious and benthofagous fish.
