Abstract: In this paper,the growth and feeding habits of young reeves shad under cultivated conditions are studied.The results show that the growth rate of cultivated juvenile is higher than that of natural ones.Young reeves shad of 26.6-94.9mm length mainly ingest zooplanktons,and the occurence rate of rotifera and phytoplanktons is decreased with the increasing length of shad. There are 18 genera of planktons ingested by shad, and the ingested frequency is 100%. The average fullness index of stomach is 75.70‰, and the weight percentage of various kinds of food is in order of copepoda>cleadocera>nauplius>zoea larva>rotifera>algae.d:\PDF\.pdf
