Abstract:
The current study examined the somatic growth of major carp (Gibelion catla and Labeo rohita) and Amur carp (Cyprinus carpio haematopterus) in a polyculture system over the course of five months in earthen ponds. For a comparative study in polyculture with three replicates, stocked Amur carp: Catla: Rohu in 40:40:20 ratios. Amur carp stocked with Silver barb (Puntius gonionotus) in 1:1 ratio in another pond with replicates. Results showed that Amur carp had greater mean net weight, mean net length, and specific growth rates than Catla and Rohu. There were no discernible variations between the trails in terms of survivability. The outcomes showed that Amur carp performs better in a polyculture system than major and minor carps.
