This study aims to determine the composition and food preferences of largehead hairtail (Trichiurus lepturus) in the Ngrenehan Coastal waters, Gunungkidul Regency. In total, 197 largehead hairtail samples were taken from fishermen who caught in the Ngrenehan Coastal waters Gunungkidul Regency from December 2022 to February 2023. Each fish sample was measured for total length and weight, then dissected to observe the digestive tract. Data analysis included length and weight distribution, relative gut length, food composition, frequency of occurrence, index of largest part, trophic level, food niche area, and food overlap. Largehead hairtails caught at Ngrenehan Coastal waters Gunungkidul are carnivorous, with a relative gut length ranging from 0.122 to 0.281 and a trophic level of 3.10. The diet composition of the hairtail was fish pieces (27%), animal debris (47%), crustacea (23%), and squid (3%). Based on size, the main food of largehead hairtail in the size class <57>61 cm was fish, with the highest preponderance index of 50.38%. Food niche breadth ranged from 1.93-2.04 with a standardized value of 0.31-0.35. There was competition for food sources between the largehead hairtails, with food overlapping values ranging from 0.977 to 0.994.
