Abstract
Stomach contents were analyzed from 5,019 bony fishes, representing 40 species, caught during 1958 by trawl in the Clear Lake area, a secondary bay system located on the west side of upper Galveston Bay, Texas. The most frequently observed items included polychaete annelids, copepods, mysidaceans, penaeid shrimp, river shrimp (Macrobrachium sp.), grass shrimp (Palaemonetes sp.), plant debris, organic detritus, mud, and sand.
