abstract
To experiment the effect of Spirulina added as feed supplement on the growth and survival rate of Anabas testudineus. A total of 150 fingering was collected from Bantin village, and were reared in culture tanks providing rice bran, peanut cake and fish meal in a ration of 3:2:1 for two weeks; 60 healthy fishes were selected for treatment and control. A. testudineus was compared its growth by using formulated diets August 2015 to December 2015. These respective treatments were Diet-A and Diet-B (5% Spirulina). Diet-B was incorporated as a feeding supplement while Diet-A was kept as a controlled feed with routine diet. The survival rate was 100% in all diets. The maximum growth rate was observed in Diet-B fed fish. These were found to be highly significant (p<0.05). The experiment suggested that Spirulina can be recommended for augment and feed utilization in intensive culture of A. testudines.
