Abstract

"Nutrition is essential for all living organisms, including fish, supporting reproduction, growth, and overall health. Feeding management significantly impacts the success of fish farming endeavors. Fish farming requires well-balanced, cost-effective feeds for success. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Spirulina feed on growth and meat quality of Indian Major Carps fingerlings [rohu (Labeo rohita) and mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigal]. The 6-month experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of Spirulina diets on the growth of fingerling Indian Major Carps. Various growth parameters, such as average body weight gain, daily and relative weight gain, feed conversion ratio, survival rate, and flesh quality, were assessed following the experiment. The experimental feed was given to the fish (IMC fingerlings) once a day rate of 10% of their body weight.
