  abstract = {{I}n the {S}outheastern {T}ropical {A}tlantic, {H}aemulidae family play an important role both environmentally, acting as a link between lower and higher trophic levels, and socioeconomically, being widely caught by artisanal fleets. {T}his study aimed to describe the trophic ecology of three grunt species ({H}aemulon aurolineatum, {H}. plumierii and {H}. squamipinna) considering spatial, temporal and ontogenetic aspects, integrating stomach content and stable isotopes analysis. {S}ampling occurred in 26 stations along the {N}ortheast of {B}razil (04 degrees- 09 degrees {S}), in {A}ugust 2015 and {A}pril 2017, using bottom trawling net. {T}here was greater feeding intensity at night, at latitudes below 08 degrees {S} and in the inner continental shelf. {H}igher values of d(1)5{N} were reported for {H}. aurolineatum and {H}. plumierii collected near coastline. {T}he isotopic niche breadth indicated that {H}. aurolineatum has a narrower diet than {H}. plumierii. {F}or the three species, the trophic level ranged between three and four. {C}onsidering stomach content and isotopic niche, diet was similar comparing species. {T}his trophic ecology pattern reveals a likewise use of the habitat, which may be essential for identifying priority areas for conservation on an ecosystem basis, especially in rich reef zones that are subject to several increasing pressures, such as those in {N}ortheast {B}razil.},
