Abstract
ABSTRACT The food habits of the fantail darter were studied in Stinking Fork, a tributary of the Little Blue River in southern Indiana. A total of 593 darters were collected and their stomach contents examined over the course of four seasons. Juvenile and adult diets were similar. Chironomid larvae were consistently the most important food item each season, while ephemeropteran naiads, plecopteran nymphs, and ostracods were of seasonal importance. Resource use seemed to be related to abundance and marks the fantail darter as an opportunist in its feeding behavior.
