During pre-monsoon, ½ full and ¾ full stomach
conditions dominated at Fort Cochin, while during
monsoon, more incidences of empty stomach (34%) were
recorded, followed by trace (poor) and ½ full conditions.
The percentage of full and ¾ full conditions of stomachs
could be found predominant during post-monsoon season,
while gorged conditions (overfed) occupied only 15%
(Fig. 1a) and other conditions of stomach like ½ full, traces
and even empty could be traceable in this season
