  Deccan mahseer (Tor khudree) has recently been included in the IUCN list of threatened species due to its declining population. Intervention of nutritional strategies for better growth and survival of early stages for grow out and ranching is essential. The present investigation intended to study the effect of various dietary combinations containing live and inert feed enriched with cod liver oil on growth and survival of Tor khudree first feeding fry, while effects on whole body fatty acid composition of fry were also studied. Cod liver oil as a source of essential fatty acids was used for enriching both live and inert formulated feed. The experimental design consist of four treatments viz. T0 (inert diet without enrichment), T1 (inert diet enriched with cod liver oil), T2 (inert diet enriched with cod liver oil+unenriched Artemia) and T3 (unenriched inert diet+enric.. View More»
