Subject Fish biology
Carangids
 
Description With a view to study the food and .feeding
habits of Selaroides leptdds, a common carangid
in Indian waters, stomachs of 1830 specimens
collected from the Palk Bay and the Gulf
of Mannar were analysed by the Points and
Occurrence methods. Examination of the
stomach contents of S. leptolepis at different
stages indicated that Acartia, Oithona, Decapod
and molluscan larvae were favourite items of
food in the lower size groups and as the fish
grows Lucifer, Acetes, Mysids and fishes
(mostly juvenile Anchoviella) became more and
more important in the diet.
