    The present study was conducted in two artisan fishing communities in the cities Guaratuba (Paraná) and Itapoá (Santa Catarina), in the South Brazilian coast. Stomach contents of Sphyrna zygaena specimens were identified, showing three categories of food items. The most important feeding categories were teleosts (78.6%) and cephalopods (60.7%), represented by the sardine Harengula clupeola the squid Loligo sp., both considered the main food items of S. zygaena in the studied region.
