The rapid degradation, overexploitation, and encroachment of floodplain wetlands have led to considerable decline in fish diversity and production from these invaluable aquatic resources threatening livelihood of the dependent fishers. The climate change evident in the fast few decades has further aggravated the problem of eutrophication causing water stress and sedimentation leading to rampant macrophyte proliferation affecting ecological and economic functioning of these ecosystems. Macrophyte control and management needs serious attention for sustaining ecosystem services provided by these resources. In this direction, pen culture of grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella as a biocontrol for macrophytes along with Indian major carps was implemented in a co-management mode in Beledanga, a typical floodplain wetland, a gradually shrinking, macrophyte dominated floodplain wetland in lower Ganga basin. Indian major carps Labeo catla (6.28?0.23g), Labeo rohita (5.1?0.12g), Cirrhinus mrigala (3.5?0.08g) were stocked in the ratio 4:3:3 at the rate of 20 Nos.m?2 in pens (0.1ha each) in triplicate. Grass carp (7.1?0.42g) was stocked in pen at the rate of 20Nos.m?2 in duplicate. The fishes were fed with pelleted feed twice a day at the rate of 2?3% of body weight. The seed was overwintered in pens for a period of 90 days from November 2019 to January 2020. Average weight recorded at the end of culture period was 25.13?1.70g, 18.11?0.63g, 14.53?0.87g, and 39.20?1.90g in L. catla, L. rohita, C. mrigala, and C. idella, respectively. The survival of fish ranged from 70 to 81%. Growth performance and feed utilization efficiency of grass carp were significantly higher (p
