<![CDATA[Ikan motan (Thynnichthys polylepis) merupakan jenis ikan yang mempunyai nilai ekonomi yang cukup penting di Kabupaten Kampar. Ikanmotan diWaduk Kotopanjang termasuk jenis ikan yang dominan dan digemarimasyarakat. Penelitian ini untuk mendapatkan data dan informasi mengenai kebiasaan makan dan biologi reproduksi dilakukan pada bulan Agustus sampai Nopember 2009. Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui metode survei dengan pengambilan contoh dilakukan secara purposive sampling. Untuk mengetahui kebiasaan makan digunakan metode Indeks Preponderan, kematangan gonad diamati secara morfologi dan penentuan fekunditas dihitung dengan metodegravimetrik. Hasil penelitian inimenunjukan bahwa ikan motan tergolong jenis ikan herbivora dengan pakan utama makrofita 49,9%, pakan pelengkapnya adalah phytoplankton 22,6% dan detritus 17,4%, dan pakan tambahan terdiri atas protozoa 0,8%, rotifera 0,5%, dan crustaceae 0,4%. Selain itu makanan yang tak teridentifikasi 8,4%. Ikan motan memijah secara bertahap (parsial) dimulai pada bulan Nopember. Fekunditas ikan motan berjumlah antara 25.360-61.198 butir dengan diameter telur pada kisaran antara 0,31-0,90mm, serta indeks kematangan gonad antara 6,65-17,56%.
