Squid predation by slender sunfish Ranzania laevis (Molidae)

Abstract
In addition to crustaceans, remains from 17 individual squid were found in the stomach of a 58cm slender sunfish Ranzania laevis from Australia, adding a new prey item to their little studied diet. Taken together with existing data from the literature, crustaceans appear to be a common prey item, with larger R. laevis (26-65cm) also taking small fish and squid. Along with new documentation on breaching, the unexpected finding of squid in the stomach confirms that these fish are fast and agile predators.
