Abstract

O presente estudo foi conduzido em duas comunidades da pesca artesanal nas cidades Guaratuba (Paraná) e Itapoá (Santa Catarina), no sul da costa brasileira. Os conteúdos estomacais de indivíduos Sphyrna zygaena foram identificados, sendo os itens alimentares agrupados em três categorias. As categorias mais importantes foram teleósteos (78,6%) e cefalópodes (60,7%), representados pela sardinha Harengula clupeola e a lula Loligo sp., ambos considerados como principais itens alimentares de S. zygaena na região estudada.The present study was conducted in two artisan fishing communities in the cities Guaratuba (Paraná) and Itapoá (Santa Catarina), in the South Brazilian coast.
