Abstract :

The food relationships determine population levels, rates of growth and conditions of fish. Fishes feed on open water pelagic organisms includes algae, protozoans and microcrustaceans, deis and plant stems and leaves. The gut content analysis gives an idea about the actual diet of the fish species. In aquaculture practice, to increase the yield of cultured fish the accurate knowledge of food and feeding is essential.According to the availability of fishes and the availability of water in the lake the fishes were collected and carried to the laboratory for study of gut content
