DISCUSSION The overall diet of adult G. elevata is generally similar to that found for G. nigricans in California (Williams and Williams, 1955) but differs from that of adult G. tricuspidata from rocky reefs in New Zealand (Russell, 1971), since, although the latter consumes a similar range of algae, it ingests no encrusting fauna. The results of the present study also support the brief notes of Stead (1908) who recorded G. elevata as feeding on "gelatinous weed" and Roughley (1951) who noted that this species ate "weed" but also took prawns, cunjevoi and other "animal fishing baits".
