Effect of Macronutrient Enriched Diet on Hormones and Gonad Maturation of Common Carp & Amur Carp

The present study was conducted to evaluate the hormones and gonad quality of common carp & amur carp (both male and female) on the basis of varying levels of protein, lipid and carbohydrate incorporated in feed. The study was conducted for 13 months. The observations of present study indicated that for achieving excellent quality of gametes and better performance of reproductive hormones the feed must be incorporated with macronutrients viz protein, lipid and carbohydrate in balance. The present study revealed that better gamete quality were attained by the fish group that was fed with high protein and lipid incorporated in feed, in comparison to control diet.
