Stomach content data from 7283 spiny dogfish,Squalus ucunthiusLinnaeus, from east coast South Island of New Zealand are presented. The major dietary components based on occurrence were 60% crustaceans and 15% fish. The principal food items were the post‐larval phase of the squat lobster,Munida greguriaFabricius (30%), and the euphausiid,Nyctiphanes australisSars (20%). Commercial fish species contributed to less than 5% of the diet. Diet of dogfish varied with dogfish size and sex. Compared to northern hemisphere studies, spiny dogfish in this study area had (1) a high proportion of crustaceans in their diet, (2) a relatively low percentage of empty stomachs, (3) a relatively high incidence of cannibalism.
