Two important coldwater species viz. Barilius bendelisis and Schizothorax richardsonii of almost similar length and weights were collected from local streams and reared in laboratory condition for sixty days in triplicate to study the effect of spirulina
(Spirulina platensis) fortified diets (0, 3, 5, 7 & 10 %) on their growth performance. Both the species are important coldwater species and very much considered as food and ornamental value. Supplementing 7-10% spirulina in the diets of both the fishes resulted increased weight gain (WG- 224& 226 %, respectively), specific growth rate (SGR-2.0 for both the species) and decreased food conversion ratio (FCR-1.2 for both the species) in comparison to control (T0) group (WG 88 %; SGR 1.0 % and FCR 3.4). Results revealed that supplementing 7-10% of spirulina in fish diet results higher growth rate, decreased FCR with higher survival rate, leads to higher return from the fisheries business.
