Abstract

A sixty-day study was carried out to compare the growth of hybrid between Labeo rohita (rohu) and Labeo bata (bata) with one of the parental species, rohu. The fertilization and hatching rates found to be lower in hybrid than those in rohu. After three days of hatching the spawns were reared in earthen nursery ponds for sixty days. The growth in weight for the first ten days and, in weight and length for the following fifty days were obtained and compared with those of rohu and significant difference in the rates of growth were observed. The hybrid showed faster growth rate than the parental species, rohu. The results obtained could be considered as preliminary finding in rohu x bata hybridization and needs further work.
