Abstract:
In this study the effect of dietary supplementation of Spirulina (5%) were observed in comparison to the control groups on breeding performance of the freshwater fish Poecilia reticulata. The experiment was carried out in the P.G. laboratory, Department of Aquaculture, College of fisheries, G.B Pant University, for the time period of 45 days. This site is present in Tarai region Distt. Udham Singh Nagar of Uttarakhand State. Fish fed with a 5% Spirulina diet performed breeding earlier than the control groups. At the end of the experiment there were no significant changes in terms of the average length. As a result of the study it can be concluded that 5% Spirulina diet can induce breeding in the fish.
