The growth and survival of kalbasu, Labeo calbasu, was evaluated at stocking densities of 5, 10 and 15 million spawn ha À1 in nursery rearing in concrete tanks of 50 m 2 , each for a period of 25 days. Survival of fry was density dependent and signi¢cantly higher (54.5%) at 5 million ha À1 than those at10 million ha À1 (50.1%) and15 million ha À1 (46.9%). Similarly, growth and speci¢c growth rate were inversely related to the stocking density and varied signi¢cantly among the three densities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
