Abstract

The occurrence, meristic, length frequency, condition factor, length–weight relationship and day/night differences in catch are reported for a population of cuskeel Ophidionrochei at Duće-Glava (43°26′N 16°41′E, Croatian coast, eastern middle Adriatic) from April 2000 to March 2001. The highest catches in shallow water occurred in June, with a second peak in September and October, and were always at night, indicating this species as nocturnal predator.
