Stomatopod Care and Rearing
List of Stomatopod Prey:
- Hemisquilla
ensigera (film: Secrets of the
Ocean Realm: Cathedral in the Sea). mussels.
- Kempina
mikado (Kemp and Chopra, 1921).
Gut analysis showed that this animal is a typical
carnivore and mainly ate the tentacular clubs of the squid
Loligo edulis and fish, regardless of
sex and body size. The suspected heavy predation on
commercially important penaeid prawns by K. mikado was
not confirmed. (Hamano-T; Hayashi-K-I; Kubota-K;
Matsushita-H; Tabuchi-K 1996. Population structure and
feeding behavior of the stomatopod crustacean Kempina
mikado (Kemp and Chopra, 1921) in the East China Sea.
