A note on the food of the Australian grayling, Prototroctes maraena Gunther (Galaxioidei: Prototroctidae)

Abstract

The stomach contents of 22 specimens of the Australian grayling, P. maraena, from the Mitchell River in eastern Victoria were examined. Aquatic insect larvae were predominant; only small amounts of plant material were present. The grayling, like other salmoniforms, is mainly insectivorous.
