Abstrakt: This study was aimed to determine the eating habits of Faunus (F.) ater based on gastric contents analysis to determine the type of food that F. ater likes and to determine the eating habits of F. ater based on the length class, carried out in the Bale and Reuleung rivers. Sampling was carried out once and 150 samples of F. ater were examined. The data obtained were analyzed for variance followed by Duncan's double-spaced test at 5% level to determine the eating habits of F. ater. The types of food found in the digestive tract were identified by matching the picture with the book. The results of the analysis of gastric contents from 150 samples of F. ater found 3 types of food, namely Amphisolenia sp., Parafavella sp. and Nannochloropsis sp. The frequencies of Parafavella sp. and Nannochloropsis sp. recorded in the F. ater hull of the two rivers showed no significant difference, namely 12.9% for Krueng Bale:13.1% for Krueng Reuleung and 87.1% for Krueng Bale and 86.86% for Krueng Reuleung. Analysis of the F. ater length class on the food occurrence frequency index showed that there were 8 F. ater length classes for the two rivers observed. In general, at each length of food class F. ater was dominated by Nannochloropsis sp. and Paravafella sp. The results of the analysis of gastric contents in 300 samples of F. ater in Krueng Bale and Reuleung found three types of food, namely Amphisolenia sp., Parafavella sp. and Nannochloropsis sp. The percentage value of the frequency of eating occurrences of F. ater showed Nannochloropsis sp. the highest compared to other types of food, while the lowest frequency of eating was Amphisolenia sp. There are eight length classes of F. ater class for the two rivers observed. In conclusion, at each length of food class F. ater was dominated by Nannochloropsis sp. and Paravafella sp.
