Ref. principal Bisht, R.S. and S.M. Das, 1981
Notas Inhabit rivers and lakes, also in rapid streams with rocky bottom (Ref. 41236). Grow better in a river with a rocky bottom. Travel toward headwaters at the start of the rainy season and downstream at the end of the rainy season. Bottom feeder (Ref. 58486). Omnivorous, feed on filamentous algae, chironomid larvae, water beetles and crustaceans. Also feeds on plants and benthic invertebrates (Ref. 13633). Diet of sahar larvae indicated that as they grew older larger zooplanktons were ingested progressively (Ref. 41840). Feeding intensity was poor during breeding season (Ref. 56213, 58486). The feeding improved after breeding and peaked in January to February in Narmada River. The feeding activities declined with the progressive maturation of gonads from March to April (Ref. 58486).
