Both qualitative and quantitative analyses were carried out to study the feeding habits of R. kanagurta. The
analysis indicated that this species feeds mainly on zooplankton (43.56%), phytoplankton (39.93%) and
algae (2.89%). The present study therefore shows that R. kanagurta is planktivorous feeder. Detailed studies
on the seasonal and ontogenetic changes in the diet composition, qualitative aspects of the diets and feeding
dynamics in relation to size groups starting from 10 - 12 cm to 28 - 30 cm, the food items namely
phytoplankton, zooplankton, algae, miscellaneous items and semi-digested matter were in different
proportions.
