Abstract

Catla spawn weighing 1.5 mg were reared in the laboratory on a dry artificial
diet containing 50 % goat liver, 30 % bioboost forte, 13 % starch, 5 % cod liver
oil, 1 % each vitamin and mineral mixtures at 28-29°C for 21 days at three
stocking densities of 60, 80 and 100 million/ha. Spawn reared at 60 milliony
ha showed the maximum average weight of 67 mg with 87 % survival, the
growth and survival rates decreased with increasing stocking densities. The
average weight and survival of spawn reared in 80 and 100 million/ha were
38 mg & 69 % and 30 mg & 68 % respectively
