ABSTRACT. Studies were carried out on feeding patterns of roach, bleak, white bream, rudd, and bream larvae from the beginning of exogenous food consumption until fry stage. Species composition of food changed with fish size from Rotatoria, Cladocera, and Copepoda to larvae and pupae of Chironomidae. Food deficiency reduced growth rate of fish.

Key words: HEATED LAKES, LARVAL FEEDING, 5 SPECIES OF CYPRINID FISH.
