International Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Studies · 2014 · Vol. 1(5) · pp. 77–79

Abstract

The present investigation has been conducted to understand the effect of spirulina as a feed supplement on survival, length and weight of pangasius sutchi for a period of 90 days. Highest values for survival, length and weight gain in the fishes were observed in fishes fed with 5% Spirulina feed which was recorded to be 94% in case of survival rate, 13.07 cm in case of length and 60.4 gm in case of weight, respectively, hence coming to conclusion that using Spirulina in the fish can raise its growth performance and survival ability.
