Description Effects of food items (mosquito larva; pupa, ehironomous larva and chopped
pieces of the fish Lepidocephalichthyes thermalis) on food utilization and surfacing activity of
Channa Striatus fry were studied. Test individuals fed on live food organisms surfaced 94-
117% more frequent ly, consumed 23- 119% more ralions/day and, on an average, converted
33% more than those fed on pieces of Lepidocephalichthyes thermalis. Regardless of the
quality of food, Channa striatus surfaced about 60 times/h before each meal and the
frequency increased to 130 timesfh 3- 6 h after the meal was offered and returned to the
prefeeding level 18- 21 h after the meal.
