dc.description.abstract	Penaeid prawns of the Bolgoda Lagoon feed on Carldina spp, clams, Harpacticoid spp, Nerine and Nereis spp fish larvae, diatoms, green leafy matter and detritus. Their frequency of occurance and the number of crops containing a particular diet varies from species to species studied. The overlap co-efficient of food between two species of the same genus is greater than that of two species of two different genera. vacuity index of M. ensis indicated seasonality in feeding. The distribution of prawns in the lagoon has a direct relationship to the benthic fauna fiand ora.	en_US
