Popis:	The food composition of the fingerlings (13–41 mm TL) of Mirogrex terraesanctae terraesanctae was studied on specimen collected at four stations in Lake Kinneret. The fingerling feed mostly on pelagic zooplankters and zoobenthic forms whereas algae were found in the intestines in low biomass. The number of zooplankton organisms in the guts of the fingerling that were sampled during June–August was higher by 234% than in fingerlings that were sampled during March–April. The role of sardines fry in the Kinneret ecosystem is discussed.
