The effects of different ova diameters on hatching, growth and survival of fry of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio var. communis, Cyprinidae) and Indian major carps viz.Catla catla, Labeo rohita, Cirrhinus mrigala (Cyprinidae) were examined. The four female brooders of different weight and size of each of Cyprinus carpio var. communis, Catla catla; Labeo rohita and Cirrhinus mrigala were collected. The highest mean ova diameter was observed in (Cyc 4) 1.235 ± 0.006 mm, (Cc 4) 5.386 ± 0.098 mm, (Lr 4) 4.94 ± 0.167 mm and (Cm 4) 4.95 ± 0.091 mm; highest fertilization rate (Cyc 4) 92.48%, (Cc 4) 85.42%, (Lr 4) 89.64%, (Cm 4) 86.49%; highest hatching percentage (Cyc 4) 82.32%, (Cc 4) 79.67%, (Lr 4) 81.28%, (Cm 4) 80.17% and highest survival (Cyc 4) 75.57%, (Cc 4) 76.36%, (Lr 4) 80.51%, (Cm 4) 68.35% respectively. The specific growth rate was also found highest in Cyprinus carpio var. communis (Cyc 4) 5.94%, Catla catla (Cc 4) 5.62%, Labeo rohita (Lr 4) 5.81% and Cirrhinus mrigala (Cm 4) 5.86% in fry of brooders having maximum weight. The direct relationship of ova diameter to fertilization rate, hatching, survival percentage and the specific growth rate of Cyprinus carpio var. communis, Catla catla, Labeo rohita and Cirrhinus mrigala were recorded. However, after the fifth week, the growth rate of spawn reduced in all the groups and was least at the end of the eighth week.

Aquaculturists have been concentrating their efforts to design aquafeeds using agro by-products to reduce feed costs. However, the presence of a wide variety of antinutritional factors (ANFs) in plant materials is one of the major obstacles. For this purpose, a 2x2 factorial experiment was established to evaluate the suitability of canola meal with citric acid (CA) and phytase (PHY) supplementation for growth performance, nutrient digestibility and body composition of Labeo rohita fingerlings. Five isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets; D1 (control; without CA and PHY), D2 (CA 15 g/kg+PHY 1000 FTU/kg), D3 (CA 30 g/kg+PHY 1000 FTU/kg), D4 (CA 15 g/kg+PHY 2000 FTU/kg) and D5 (CA 30 g/kg+PHY 2000 FTU/kg) were fed to fish (mean initial weight 7.61±0.31 g) in triplicates for 90-days. The growth performance was significantly increased while feed conversion ratio was decreased with D3 compared to control and other CA and PHY supplemented groups (P<0.05). Furthermore, higher digestibility (%) of nutrients (dry matter, crude protein and ash) and improved whole-body composition was also exhibited by fish fed with D3 (P<0.05). Hence, the above results elucidate that supplementation of 30 g/kg CA with 1000 FTU/kg PHY could be a useful approach for improved growth performance, nutrients digestibility and body composition of L. rohita.
