Abstract

The predatory effect of African catfish Clarias gariepinus on a carp Labeo rohita was observed in three earthern ponds under control fertilisation and feeding conditions for a duration of 50 days. Although catfish exhibited 100 survival for L. rohita the survival rates were 58 60 and 89 in the ponds of control fertilisation and feeding conditions respectively. Survival percentage of L. rohita was higher in the pond supplied with food when compared with others. Growth g of catfish was higher in the pond provided with feed whereas growth of L.rohita was higher in the pond provided with fertilisers when compared with the other two ponds.
