ABSTRACT
Fertilization of organic manure and provision of supplementary feed with additives such as mineral and vitamin premix has a positive influence on the growth of Indian major carps that contributed to high fish production. An experiment was conducted to study the effect of different doses of fertilizer i.e Vermicompost @15,000kg/ha/yr ,vermicompost @10,000 kg/ha/yr, vermicompost @5,000 kg/ha/yr and cowdung @ 10,000 kg/ha/yr on the growth of Cirrhinus mrigala. The response of treatments towards increase in fish weight and total length was significantly different. The fertilizers of ponds enhanced the gross fish yield / pond / 5 months from that of the observations of control experiment. Increase in body weight of mrigal was maximum in vermicompost @10,000 kg/ha/yr. While the poor increase in body weight was observed in control.
