Description Four substrates namely, paddy straw (E1), sugarcane bagasse (E2), plastic sheet (E3) and tile
(E4) were submerged in separate fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) tanks of 500 L capacity in triplicate
and allowed for biofilm development for 1 month. Three tanks without substrate served as control
(E0). Cirrhinus mrigala (Hamilton 1822) (mean weight 1.42±0.05 g; length 4.12±0.08 cm) were
introduced 30 days after introducing the substrates in the tanks. Water quality, survival and the
growth performance of C. mrigala were examined in all the treatments and control tanks for 90
days. Total ammonia-N and nitrite-N contents were significantly low in the treatment tanks
compared to the control. At the end of the experiment, survival rate of fish was significantly higher
in the treatments than that of the control. Protein content in the biofilm was 41% in E1, which was
significantly (p
