Feed utilisation and growth in juveniles of Labeo rohita under the stress of endosulfan.

ABSTRACT

The objective of the present study is to evaluate the nutrition and growth of Labeo rohita under the sublethal stress of endosulfan. It has been observed that the feed utilisation and growth were inferior in the fish under the stress of the toxicant. It was more so in the test fish under the influence of higher sublethal concentration. The food conversion ratio was higher suggesting that the nutrients are wasted.
