Abstract
194 stomachs of 4 spp. of fish (Salvelinus alpinus lonsdalii, Coregonus clupe-oides stigmaticus, Salmo trutta, Perca fluviatilis) caught on July 6, 1938, were examined quantitatively for food consumed. The 1st spp. had fed chiefly on Entomostraca but mostly on different spp., Salvelinus taking chiefly plankton but Coregonus feeding around weed beds near the bottom. Salmo and Perca had eaten larger food, apparently selecting different organisms in the same feeding area.Keywords
