Abstract

Treatment of Mugil cephalus procured from wild with antibiotic and acclimatisation in seawater treated with calcium hypochlorite are reported. Two factor analysis of variance has revealed that the quality of water and the size of the fishes have significantly affected the survival rate (P<0.01). The overall survival rate in treated water was 89.6 % and in controls 32.0 %. Smaller fishes showed better survival.
