Abstract

A stomach content analysis of Horabagrus brachysoma from Lake Vembanad, South India, showed that this species was omnivorous and euryphagous, with few qualititative differences in the diet among size classes. Feeding rates changed over the course of a year in response to environmental change associated with the monsoon.
