Keywords:
Feeding behavior, Piscivory, Reef Fish, Atlantic OceanAbstract
During a predation event a juvenile grouper, rock hind Epinephelus adscensionis, fed upon the redlip blenny Ophioblennius trinitatis. It is important to highlight that both individuals had pretty much the same size during the predation event (around 5 cm); however, the grouper ingested the whole prey.Published
