A study of the food and feeding habits of fishes forms an important aspect
of fishery biological investigations. Some work has been done in the past
on the food and feeding habits of oil sardine, Sardinella longiceps Val.
Hornell (1910) first published an account of the food of oil sardine and also
emphasised the importance of undertaking the study in greater detail.
Hornell and Nayudu (1924) gave a brief account on the food of oil sardine
along with a note on the plankton off West-Hill, Calicut. Subsequent studies
on the food and feeding habits of this fish have been made by Chidambaram
(1950) and Nair (1953) and brief references by John and Menon (1942), Nair
and Subrahmanyan (1955) and Subrahmanyan (1959). Thus, some amount
of reliable information is already available on the food and feeding habits
of the oil sardine. The results published so far do not, however, include any
observations north of Calicut, which is a fishing centre on the Malabar coast-
The present account deals with some preliminary quantitative and qualitative
observations made on the food of Sardinella longiceps Val., at Mangalore,
an important fishing centre representative of the Mysore coast during the
period February 1957 to January 1960.
