Abstract

The present study is to investigate the effect of selective Synthetic feed like Richmin and Vanimin having some additive components for enhancing on certain metabolic profiles and yield parameters of the cultivable fish species like Catla catla, Labeorohita, Cirrhinusmrigala. The fishes selected for the study are  considered into two groups viz. control group and experimental group.The control group of fishes were fed with control feed i.e.  Groundnut cake, rice bran. The experimental group of fishes shall further be divided into two groups, Richmin and Vanimin which are commercially available, have been selected for the study. The first group of experimental fish was fed with control feed mixed with Richmin and Vanimin. The second groups of experimental fish are being fed with control feed mixed with fishmin. Hence the feed i.e., control feed+ Richmin and Vanimin supplied to the two groups of experimental fishes shall be called as synthetic feed. Elevation of the rate of fecundity and rate of fertilization was observed when fed with Richmin and Vanimin fed fish species. Richmin and Vanimin treatment enhanced the fertilization rate and all the changes were found to be statistically significant over their corresponding control values.
