Abstract The present study was focused on the influence of acid waters on the energy budget of the fish Cyprinus carpio. The experimental fish were tested in the experimental media (pH 5.0, 5.8, 6.6, and control 7.2) for 21 days for the bioenergetics evaluation. The fishes were fed by the fresh beef liver. The pH was upheld vigilantly throughout the investigation, after the experimental period, the results revealed the declined rates of food consumption (69.75 J/g/day), absorption (96.28 (J/g/day), conversion ( -30.76 Rate of energy conversion (J/g/day), and the hyper-metabolic rate (5.09 Energy metabolized KJ/animal) was observed in the fishes exposed to low pH 5.0, 5.8, and 6.6 respectively.
