Abstract
Based on materials collected in the course of angling in Uzovskaya Inlet, new data on the body length and weight of Platichthys stellatus were obtained, and information on the diet of the species is presented. Analysis revealed medium-sized individuals in the composition of catches. Their diet consisted of juvenile fish, gammarids, Pacific sand lance and shrimps.
