 The species predominantly takes small fish as prey, however supplements its diet with a varied array of invertebrates.These include crustaceans such as shrimps, decapods, copepods and stomatopods, cephalopods, gastropods, jellyfish, sponges and even species of open ocean sea-skater insects.Bigeye trevally were found to be the primary fish predators of these sea-skates, and took far more of these than any other species of carangid.
