Variations in the dietary compositions of squids with large populations further promote interactions between different trophic levels in marine ecosystems. Moreover, due to marine pollution, squids are also at risks of artifact ingestion, and there is limited understanding about the influence of artifacts on the feeding behavior of squids. We examined 296 stomachs of the Argentine shortfin squid Illex argentinus collected through commercial catches across the Southwest Atlantic from February to April of 2018 and 2019 to establish the monthly dietary compositions and risks of artifact ingestion. The results supported typical observations that the Argentine shortfin squids switched from a diet dominated by crustaceans at small sizes to consuming larger prey, predominantly fishes and/or cephalopods, at large sizes during their growth and southward migration. Significantly higher consumption of fishes was observed in recent years compared with that observed in other studies since 1992. The ingested artifacts examined were composed of plastic and non-plastic materials. Artifacts were observed in 19.9% of the total number of stomachs, with 20.5% of the empty stomachs containing artifact remains. The results indicate that although the main dietary compositions of the Argentine shortfin squid maintain the taxonomic groups of prey compositions, the dietary structure, i.e., composition percentage, is varying. The detection of artifacts suggests that environmental monitoring is needed in this region in order to manage and conserve the squid and safeguard aquatic food safety. |
