Abstract
Four isocaloric pelleted feeds of 25, 30, 35 and 40% protein levels prepared from indigenous raw materials were fed to Labeo rohita fingerlings @ 4% of their body weight for a period of 49 days in glass aquaria. The growth of the fingerlings were recorded weekly. The lowest mortality was observed in fishes with 30% protein levels. Statistical analysis by Randomized Block Design also showed best growth with the feed containing 30% protein level.
