Differences in the diet composition of small (28–42 mm total length, L T ) and large (43–75 mm L T ) individuals of the cline Clinitrachus argentatus (Clinidae) were evident. Smaller individuals preyed mainly on copepods, whereas larger individuals ate mainly amphipods, isopods, brachyurans and polychaetes.
