Abstract
The paper discusses growth, feeding, and economic importance of smelt (Osmerus eperlanus L.) in the Lake Miedwie. The growth rate was back-calculated from otoliths using the Dahl-Lea method. When studying smelt feeding, both qualitative and quantitative aspects of food composition were taken into account as well as frequency of occurrence of each component. Additionally, the Lake Miedwie smelt′s growth rate and feeding were compared to those features exhibited by the species in other water bodies.
