An experimental study was conducted on growth performance of Indian major carps (IMC) in periphyton based aquaculture and supplementary feed for a period of 90 days w.e.f. February to May, 2017. Four treatments in triplicate were tried viz. only fertilization T0 (control), fertilization plus bamboo substrate (T1), fertilization plus bamboo substrate plus feed (T2) and fertilization plus feed (T3). Fishes showed significant (p Â0.05) weight gain and survivability in T2 as compared to other treatments. Improved FCR value was also observed in T2 as compared to T1. The objective of the study was to evaluate the growth of IMC based on substrate feeding and supplementary feeding.
