Abstract
Amaranthus seeds were used at three different levels (20%, 35%, 50%) in fish diets under a semi-intensive fish culture system and their impact on the growth of common carp, Cyprinus carpio, and rohu, Labeo rohita, was studied. Growth in terms of body weight gain was maximum in fish fed on diets containing 20% Amaranthus seeds, that replaced rice bran and groundnut oil cake in the feed. Overall, the fish fed on diets containing Amaranthus seeds at different levels showed better growth than the control, because of the good-quality proteins available in Amaranthus seeds. In the two species used, L. rohita showed better growth performance than C. carpio.
