| Popis: | In light of limited biological data, particularly concerning the dietary habits of four-lined terapon fish (Pelates quadrilineatus), a comprehensive study was conducted. A total of 140 fish samples were gathered from various points along the Makkoran coast, including the Chabahar fish market and catch unloading centers in Chabahar, Ramin, and Tis. The investigation aimed to delineate their seasonal feeding patterns from the onset of summer 2019 until the conclusion of spring 2020. The findings revealed the average total length and weight of the fish to be 18.51±4.13 cm and 82.30±16.71 grams, respectively. Moreover, the average relative length of the intestine and stomach fullness/emptiness stood at 0.52% and 49.29%, respectively, indicating the species' carnivorous nature and moderate feeding tendencies. Notably, gastro-somatic index, feeding intensity, and condition factor during autumn were significantly lower than in other seasons, with averages of 1.48±0.24, 95.34±25.11, and 0.72±0.068, respectively (p |
