Synopsis We investigated prey selection by the monkfish, Lophius upsicephalus. This sit-and-wait predator preferentially selected prey types that would be expected to react to the lure of the illicium. Prey size selection was dependent on predator size, with larger predators feeding on a wider range of prey sizes.
