Two types of diet namely Diet-1 (Formulated feed with shrimp waste), Diet-2 (Formulated feed with plants source ingredients) were prepared while Diet-3 (Commercial feed) were purchased from the market and assigned to three treatments viz. T1, T2 and T3. Protein percentage of diets were 28.42%, 28.13% and 27.32%, respectively. The water quality parameters of the experimental ponds were monitored at 10 days interval. Diet-1 resulted better growth with Labeo rohita (153.68g), Gibelion catla (170.14g) and Cirrhinus cirrhosus (84.83g) compared to Diet-2 (138.99g, 152.94g, 68.39g respectively). The highest SGR (%/day) value was obtained with Labeo rohita (2.66%/day), Gibelion catla (2.59%/day) and Cirrhinus cirrhosus (2.62%/day) for Diet-3. The average protein efficiency ratio (PER) for Diet-1 (2.19) differed much to that of Diet-2 (2.03) where Diet-3 (2.38) showed highest PER value. The highest survival rate (%) with Labeorohita (93.93%), Gibelioncatla (92.86%) Cirrhinuscirrhosus (94.44%) were found for Diet-3. Therefore, it could be recommended that shrimp industry waste can be replaced with fish meal in the diets of Indian major carps along with other available feed ingredients.</p><p>Environ.
