Abstract

Larvae of Macrobrachium rosenbergii (PL) were procured from CIFE, Mumbai and transported to the Department of Zoology, University of Jammu for experimental purposes. Four different diets viz., Diet I (Mixed Zooplanktons), Diet II (Live Chironomus), Diet III (freeze dried Tubifex) and Diet IV (Artificial Feed) were fed to the post larvae of Macrobrachium rosenbergii for 42 days of rearing period in 20 litre plastic tubs at a stocking density of 1 prawn per liter of water. The results on the basis of mean weight (0.259±0.0056), specific growth rate (3.781±0.100) and survival rate (95%) for Diet II (Live Chironomus) were found to be highest and significantly different (P<0.05) from rest of the three (I, III & IV).
