Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effect of direct transportation of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) fingerlings to salt solution of 4, 6, 8 and 12 g / L concentrations from a control solution of 2.2 g / L on growth and nutrition. The high mortality 100 % occurs during the first 24 hours at 8 and 12 g / L solution respectively. No fish mortality occurred at the treatment of 4 and 6 g / L during the same period. Statistical analysis of final weight, weight increase, daily growth rate, specific growth rate and relative growth rate showed no significant differences (P>0.05) between treatment 4 g / L and the control, but the treatment of 6 g / L exhibited significant different (P<0.05) with the control. The values of food intake for the body weight reached 3.59, 3.01 and 2.39 % for the treatments control, 4 g / L and 6 g / L respectively, with significant difference (P<0.05).
