Abstract

Illisha Africana which occurs in the coastal waters of Cape Coast was found to be partly carnivorous and partly planktivorous feeding mainly on fish and shrimp and during upwelling. on zooplankton especially Hyperia sp and Temora sp. The compositions and frequency of occurrence of the stomach contents varied from month to month. Between August and September, 1985, the stomach contents were predominantly zooplankton.
