Title The food habits of Liza macrolepis (Smith)
and Mugil cephalus Linnaeus (Mugilidae)
 
Creator Luther, G
 
Subject Food and Feeding
 
Description Accounts of the diverse views expressed on the food of the grey mullets
by various authors have been discussed in the works of Sarojini (1951),
Pillay (1953) and Thomson (1954). The grey mullets have been described
as plankton feeders, herbivores, omnivores, slime feeders, foul feeders, bottom
feeders, etc. Despite the extensive records on the subject, in this group of
fishes, there are very few accounts based on studies for an extended period
of time in respect of different size-groups from different environs.
