Abstract

This study was performed in order to obtain information regarding aspects of food dynamics of Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus, 1757 in Guarapiranga Reservoir (São Paulo, Brazil). The specimens were collected monthly between August 1996 and July 1997. The analysis was established based on variations of the repletion index, relative frequency of repletion stages and condition factor. The specimens showed higher feeding activity before and after the reproductive period.
