Comments on General Food Habits

The primary source of food is insects but they take some plant material *3130*. Unidentified vascular plant remains have also been noted *3130*. Trichoptera and Diptera are the primary food source for adults *3130*. Ephemeroptera and Trichoptera were the only insects taken by larvae *3130*. Algal and vascular plan material is often cosumed in major quantities Most food is taken by sight feeding and the barbels are not of great utility in feeding *4205*.

Comments on Larval Food Habits

The source does not state that these foods came from larvae, but from young-of-year. Several of the fish had empty stomachs *3130*.
