Abstract

Tubifix, Chiranomus, Beef liver, mosquito larvae and plankton used as feed were tested as diets in the early larval growth of Channa striatus fry over a 45 days period. Among all the food types Chironomus was found to produce the best growth results followed by tubifix, while other food types yielded poor results.
