Abstract AR
جمع 158 نموذج من نجم البحر Asteropecten polycanthus polycanthus من منطقة خور العمية (شمال غرب الخليج العربي) للفترة من شباط 1999 و لغاية نيسان 2000 و فحصت معدها مختبريا.
شكلت النواعم نسبة 87 % من مجموع المعد المفحوصة و 94 % من حجم الغذاء و أن أهم الأنواع التي ظهرت هي النوعMitrella blanda ، Monodonta vermiculata،Paphia texilla ،Solen vagnia.
كما لوحظ عدم وجود تغيرات فصلية واضحة في تركيبة الغذاء للنوع المدروس.

Abstract EN
A total of 158 specimen of seastar collected during the period from Feb.
1999 to Apr.
2000 from Khor Al- Umia (North-West Arabian Gulf).
The stomachs of all collected seastar were dissected and the food composition were analyzed.
Mollusca occurred in 87% of all stomachs containing food and contributed 94% of food volume.
The most important food items were Monodonata vermiculata, Mitrella blanda, Solen vagina, Paphia texilla.
There was no distinct seasonal difference in the composition of the diet, but tendency to minimize feeding activity in February-April, probably related to the spawning period.
