Abstract The author studied thoroughly the feeding conditions of young 
Pomatomus saltator (L. 1758), in the water layers near the Romanian 
littoral of the Black Sea. The researches covered several years in-
cluded the qualitative and quantitative aspects of this issue. The 
feeding system was correlated with the size of the individuals and 
season. In the second part of the paper consequence of the feeding 
conditions on growth rate are analysed. On this occasion, some rela-
tions were established and indexes determined, the value of which 
pointed to the link existing between feeding and individual growth.
