Abstract: A study of the clingfish Lepadogaster lepadogaster was made. 42 specimens were collected from a boulder shore on Cape Clear Island, Co. Cork and subsequently dissected. Total length was recorded, as well as stomach and intestine contents. Otoliths were also removed from a subsample. Length frequency is presented along with data on gut contents.
