Abstract

Feeding biology of Cyprinus carpio (Lin.) was explored from Keenjhar Lake District Thatta, Sindh, Pakistan. In total 110 samples were accessed at different length groups during March – August 2015. The range of sample was between 5.1 to 70.0 cm and 8.1- 2990.4g in total length and weight respectively. Results of the present study revealed that the feeding habit of Cyprinus carpio was found to be omnivorous with high feeding preference of invertebrates (61.63%) followed by plant matter (30.0%) and 3rd preferred food was debris (9.0 %).It was also noted that the feeding activity of the fish was found to be increased with the increase in size.
