Abstract
Food habit was studied of Saurida tumbil in Iraqi marine waters, northwest of Arabian Gulf. The results revealed that this species is carnivorous. Fishes dominated the food items consumed in diet importance constituting 97.36 % of large individuals following by shrimps 2.54% and Sepia sp. 0.1%, whereas young individuals fed on shrimps, which constituted 55.6%, fish (44.28%) and sepia (0.12%). A cannibalism phenomenon apparently noticed for young individuals. Data analysis indicated that both feeding activity and feeding intensity varied from month to month and generally higher during warm months
