Abstract:
The

Hormuzgan Province waters located in the northern Persian Gulf from October

algae and dinoflagellates constituted main food of plant origin. Diatoms were
found to be the most preferable food of plant origin where it occurred in more
than ۶۰.۸% of food item by number and ۵۹.۵% by occurrence. Crustacean
including crabs and their larvae, shrimps, copepods, eggs and larval forms
comprised the maximum part of the food of animal origin. It was concluded that Sillago
sihama in the Coastal waters of Hormuzgan Province is planktonivorous and feeding
