First record of predation on jellyfish by butterflyfish on Brazilian rocky reefs
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 March 2010
Abstract
The present study reports the first record of predation of the banded butterflyfish Chaetodon striatus on the jellyfish Chrysaora lactea on Brazilian rocky reefs. The activity involved a pair of C. striatus and was photographed and video-recorded. We believe that temporarily available food resources benefit species with a more generalist diet.
