Document Abstract
The present study reveals that the average RLG value for the fishes of group I(less than 10cm) was 0.74
and group II as 0.60.The average GaSI was ranged from 2.11 to 4.86 for males and that of female from
2.35 to 6.67.The highest value of GaSI was recorded 4.86 and 6.67 during the month of October for
males and females respectively. Gut content analysis showed significant seasonal patterns and dominated
by insects (41%) followed by plant matter (16%), fishes (15%), crustaceans (11%), zooplankton (8%),
miscellaneous (6%), and annelids (3%), in the order of preference. Thus reflecting it widening of food
spectrum and carnivorous in nature.
