  abstract = {{T}he shorthead drum {L}arimus breviceps has an important role in the subsistence of local communities. {H}owever, studies addressing the trophic ecology of this species are still scarce. {H}ere we present further information on the trophic ecology and ecomorphology of {L}. breviceps, including dietary analyses, carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes compositions (?13{C} and ?15{N}), and morphometric measurements on a seasonal basis. {S}pecimens were captured in the {N}ortheastern {B}razil from {F}ebruary to {N}ovember 2017 by the local artisanal shrimp fisheries. {A} total of 46 individuals (27 juveniles and 19 adults) were randomly subsampled for ecomorphological analysis. {S}ignificant differences in the ecological attributes between ontogeny were found for peduncle and body flatness indexes. {A} total of 479 stomachs of {L}. breviceps were analyzed. {T}he fish total length ranged from 6.3 to 19.2 cm. {N}ine prey categories were defined for {L}. breviceps. {S}ergestidae shrimps were the main prey. {T}he diet composition from the multivariate technique of non-metric multidimensional scaling ordination displayed a different pattern for juveniles and adults. {A} subsample of 40 individuals (dry season = 20; rainy season = 20) were selected for stable isotope analysis. {M}ean values delta {C}-13 and delta {N}-15 were different by size in the dry season. {T}his information improves the general knowledge and ecological data on bycatch species, as well as may give support to management initiatives, potentially associated to trophic models, or may be considered into the design of {B}ycatch {R}eduction {D}evices ({BRD}), taking into account the current paradigm of the {E}cosystemic {A}pproach to {F}ishery ({EFA}).},
