“…The presence of algae, plant seeds, and fish in gut contents also suggested that M. congesturn is somewhat opportunistic. Among aquatic insects, dipterans, particularly Chironomidae, were the most common food item suggesting that feeding takes place in calm waters of pools or stream edges (Timmons and Ramsey 1983). Ephemeropterans also comprised a large portion of the aquatic insects consumed by fish in this study.…”

Reproduction and diet of gray redhorse (Moxostorna congesturn) were examined in a Texas Hill Country stream and a central Texas reservoir from September 2004 through August 2005. Temporal patterns in gonadosomatic index and oocyte diameter relative frequency indicated that M. congestum spawns over two distinct periods during spring and likely spawns multiple clutches in each period. Moxostoma congesturn is an opportunistic benthic invertivore, with mollusks being the predominant food item in summer and aquatic insects the primary food item in other seasons. Additionally, diets differed between stream and reservoir habitats and among seasons. Though habitat degradation is of concern for M. congesturn, our data suggest that it has persisted in habitats disturbed by low-head dam and mainstem reservoir construction due in part to its opportunistic feeding strategy that allows it to adapt to lentic systems.
