A total of 632 samples collected from February to April and September to November 2017 were analysed using morphological and histological approaches. The overall structures were similar between the species: a short mucous\u2010cell\u2010rich oesophagus region, a well\u2010developed gastric gland uniformly present across the stomach's mucosal layer, and three finger\u2010like pyloric caeca between the stomach and intestine. However, there were marked differences in the mouth, gill raker, and intestinal coefficient (IC). <jats:italic>N. gerreoides<\/jats:italic> had a relatively longer mouth, smoother gill rakers, and an IC of 1.08\u2009\u00b1\u20090.01, similar to those of other carnivorous fish. In contrast, the gill raker of <jats:italic>E. splendens<\/jats:italic> had more villiform teeth that can filter\u2010feed better, and their IC was 2.16\u2009\u00b1\u20090.02 (i.e., longer intestine). Although digestive structures were generally similar between the ponyfishes, these differences suggest that <jats:italic>N. gerreoides<\/jats:italic> is relatively carnivorous with stronger suction, whereas <jats:italic>E. splendens<\/jats:italic> may be an omnivorous or herbivorous filter\u2010feeder.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jfb.15653","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,17]],"date-time":"2024-01-17T09:49:27Z","timestamp":1705484967000},"page":"1136-1151","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Comparative digestive biology between the ponyfishes from the Pranburi River estuary, Thailand"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"104","author":[{"given":"Tassaporn","family":"Kanjanarakha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Marine Science, Faculty of Science Chulalongkorn University  Bangkok Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7194-9702","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sinlapachai","family":"Senarat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Biological Science, Faculty of Science Prince of Songkla University  Songkhla Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kitipong","family":"Angsujinda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aquatic Resources Research Institute Chulalongkorn University  Bangkok Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gen","family":"Kaneko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Natural and Applied Science University of Houston\u2010Victoria  Victoria Texas USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Atsuo","family":"lida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Sciences, Graduate School of Bioagricultural Sciences Nagoya University  Nagoya Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pahol","family":"Kosiyachinda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, Faculty of Science Mahidol University  Bangkok Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Witchaya","family":"Tongtako","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Science Prince of Songkla University  Songkhla Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Supapong","family":"Imsonpang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Health and Applied Sciences, Faculty of Science Prince of Songkla University  Songkhla Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jes","family":"Kettratad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Marine Science, Faculty of Science Chulalongkorn University  Bangkok Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/858674"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","first-page":"122","article-title":"Food and feeding habit of pony fish, Leiognathus splendens (Cuvier, 1829) off Ratnagiri coast, Maharashtra","volume":"7","author":"Acharya K.
