Comparative evaluation of two iso-nutritional feeds (mash and pellet) upon the environmental health and growth potential of two Indian major carps (Rohu, Labeo rohita; Mrigal, Cirrhinus mrigala) under mixed culture condition

Abstract

Comparative evaluation of two iso-nutritional feeds (crude protein- 92%) was lower than pellet (83. 81%). The environmental health of the treatments with respect to water and sediment quality subjected to mash and pellet feed application under identical stocking composition of fish did not differed significantly. N: P ratio in both mash and pellet fed treatments tended to increase overtime and remained congenial (4 to 6.4). Increase in available phosphorous
