[...] les espadons se nourrissent de poissons nectoniques (anchois, harengs, maquereaux), de poissons micronectoniques (myctophidés, paralepididés) et d'espèces mésopélagiques à migration verticale, exploitant ainsi quasiment toute la couche d'eau où la biomasse de proies est significativement présente.
