Summary The food compositions of salema S arpa salpa , bogue B oops boops and common two‐banded seabream D iplodus vulgaris in D onji M olunat B ay (south‐eastern A driatic) were studied in order to evaluate the diet overlap among them. Fish were collected from M arch to J uly 2009 using a beach seine net. Three species of crustaceans were the most common prey, the most abundant being copepods. A significant overlap in the diet calculated using S choener's index was recorded in May when the index was 0.9266 for bogue and salema, 0.6091 for bogue and common two‐banded seabream, and 0.6142 for common two‐banded seabream and salema.
