Abstract
Six isonitrogenous semi purified diets with graded levels of lipids (4.5, 6, 7.5, 9, 10.5
and 12%) were prepared in pelleted form and fed to the fingerlings of Cirrhinus mrigala
for 60 days to evaluate the changes in growth and feed conversion. Absolute, relative and
specific growth rates were found to be higher and FCR values better in fishes receiving
a diet containing 7.5% lipid
