Two way-ANOVA showed that the average number of
spawns by stunted group was significantly (Pb0.05) higher
than that of non-stunted broodfish. In normal 2% feeding rate
gave higher number of spawn compared to 1% but there was
no effect (PN0.05) of feeding rate on the number of spawn in
stunted group. Although stunted females were smaller than the
normal fish (N) at stocking, more spawns (7) were obtained
from the stunted group within the first 3 weeks as compared to
the normal group (N), 3 spawns. The spawning in both the
groups was regular from the 4th week of the trail.
