Abstract

Food is an important factor in the biology of fishes to the extent of governing their growth, feeding and migratory movements. The basic function of an organism is its growth, development and reproduction and it takes place at the expense of energy which enters the organism in the form of its food. Gobius biocellatus is a teleost fish, one of the species of the genus Gobius and it is distributed in fresh waters throughout the plains of India .In the present study analysis of the gut content of adult G.biocellatus was carried out to study the percentage composition and percentage of prevalence of different food items. In order to find out whether the growth had any correlation with the food and feeding habits, the analysis has been made in relation to different length groups.

Keywords:Gobius biocellatus, length groups, food and feeding habits
