Abstract
Trout larvae of average weight of 0.08391 to 0.08907 gm were nursed in 12 floating net cages set in a circular tank. The larvae were fed with 4 different diets- Diet 1 (normal diet), Diet 2 (normal diet with buff liver), Diet 3 (normal diet with chicken liver) and Diet 4 (normal diet with mutton liver). The experiment was conducted at completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications for each diet. Body weight, total length and condition factor of larvae did not show significantly variation at different test diets. The specific growth rate was recorded 3.043% per day which was highest in test diet 3. The highest Food Conversion Ratio (FCR) i.e., 2.8768 was recorded in diet 4. Physico-chemical parameters and the survival rate were also recorded. The correlation coefficient of length and weight relationship was highest (0.972) in diet 3.
