O hábito alimentar do beijupirá, Rachycentron canadum, foi descrito ao longo da costa do Estado de Pernambuco, Nordeste do Brasil. Foram capturados 110 exemplares entre fevereiro/2004 e agosto/2006, com comprimento furcal ou zoológico variando entre 40,0 e 137,0 cm (média e desvio padrão: 85,8±18,0 cm) e peso total entre 0,4 e 29,8 kg (7,5±4,4 kg). Foi avaliada a importí¢ncia de cada item alimentar na dieta utilizando o índice de importí¢ncia relativa (IIR). Dentre os 110 estômagos analisados (52 fêmeas e 58 machos), 92 (83,6%) com algum item alimentar e 18 (16,4%) vazios. Os peixes ósseos foram os principais itens consumidos na dieta alimentar (IIR = 98,7%), entre os quais a mariquita (Holocentrus adscensionis) e o baiacu (Diodon sp.) foram as presas mais consumidas (IIR = 30,7% e 8,2%, respectivamente). A dieta foi composta, ainda, por elasmobrí¢nquios, crustáceos e cefalópodes (IIR <1% cada). Não foram encontradas diferenças na dieta entre os sexos e classes de tamanho (< ou â"°¥ 69,8 cm de comprimento furcal, L50 estimado para a espécie). Os dados analisados demonstram que, na costa de Pernambuco, o beijupirá é um predador carnívoro com preferência por peixes ósseos demersais, independente do tamanho e sexo dos indivíduos analisados.
