Effect of Temperature on Growth and Proximate Composition of Labeo rohita (L.)

Temperature has a major impact on aquatic organisms including fishes. It affects the vital physiological characteristics and metabolic functions. In this study, the results demonstrated that the fishes reared in outdoor culture system has a higher growth performance and biochemical synthesis over the fishes reared in indoor culture system and this may be attributed to the fluctuation in day to day atmospheric temperature; which inturn influenced the vital physiological and biosynthetic process of cultured fishes.
