Abstract

Ethylestrenol (17 Hydroxy-17 as ..ethyl-estr-4-en-3-one) and Stanozolal (17(3 - Hydroxy
17 a -methy 1-5 a -androstano - (3,2-C)- pyrazole), both synthetic androgenic steroids, were
fed via diet at 3 ppm to the fry of catla,rohu and silver carp which were reared upto fingerling
stage over a period of 167-172 days in earthen ponds. Ethylestrenol enhanced growth in silver
carp and rohu but retarded growth in catla. Stanozolal depressed growth in all the 3 species.
Length-weight relationship for these fry had been worked out and the relative condition factor
in all the cases was very close to or slightly above 1.0.
