Abstract

Feeding biology of Cyprinus carpio from Keenjhar Lake, District Thatta Sindh, Pakistan

Highlights

  • The resultant values of electivity from +1 to -1, positive values indicating selection for certain food items, negative values indicating avoidance Results Feeding biology of Cyprinus carpio were studied with respect to quality and quantity of food items eaten, size and pattern of feeding in relationship to total length stomach weight

  • Among % of food items invertebrates (61.0%) was the most dominant food items found in the stomach of the fish by percentage of total points followed by plant matter (30.0%) and least observed food was debris (9.0%) from stomach of Cyprinus carpio, the percentages of food items and their categories are shown in (Table1and 2) respectively

  • The present investigation on feeding biology of Cyprinus carpio from Keenjhar Lake District Thatta was enumerated and found that Cyprinus carpio is mostly omnivorous in feeding habit

Summary

Introduction families of carp fish which is widely

Food and feeding habit of fish are important distributed throughout the world found biological factors for selecting a group of almost every type of water small streams, fish for culture in ponds to avoid rivers, lakes, ponds and pools [3]. The resultant values of electivity from +1 to -1, positive values indicating selection for certain food items, negative values indicating avoidance Results Feeding biology of Cyprinus carpio were studied with respect to quality and quantity of food items eaten, size and pattern of feeding in relationship to total length stomach weight. Among % of food items invertebrates (61.0%) was the most dominant food items found in the stomach of the fish by percentage of total points followed by plant matter (30.0%) and least observed food was debris (9.0%) from stomach of Cyprinus carpio, the percentages of food items and their categories are shown in (Table1and 2) respectively.
