The growth rate in terms of weight gain was
the maximum and rapid when the fish was fed with Feed- A which was supplemented with seaweed
C. fastigiata. A more or less similar growth trend was observed with Feed-B supplemented with P.
tetrastomatica. However, the growth was relatively lower with Feed-C which contained seaweed
(S. marginatum). In all the groups, except for the control, the growth gained was higher (Fig. 1)
