Yellow Tailed  Fish  (Caesio cuning) is one of coral fish from the Caesionidae family that has important economic value and became a target catching traps of fishermen in Pelabuhan Perikanan Nusantara Sungailiat. Information about feeding habits and length weight relationship of Yellow Tailed Fish (Caesio cuning) needed for management such as aquaculture.
