Sipuncula, Annelida, Crustacea, Mollusca, Echinodermata, Urochordata, Chondrichthyes, and Teleostei, as well as unidentified materials (Table 1).

A total of 1,138 prey corresponding to 76 items or prey categories were identified, belonging to 8 phyla: Arthropoda, Mollusca, Echiura,
Sipuncula, Echinodermata, Ectoprocta, Annelida, and Chordata.
Inversely to density, biomass dominance was shared among other groups besides Polychaeta (27%), as Mollusca (39%), Echinodermata (22%),
Sipuncula (8%) and Crustacea (4%).

The miscellaneous prey included
Sipuncula, Echiura, fish offal (processed fish parts like head, tail, pyloric caeca, etc.), and all other prey organisms not included in the other eight prey categories.
