Twenty five fingerlings of Thiapangus were randomly selected from the pool and stocked in each threearthen pond (3.00m×3.00m×2m). In the end of experiment highest weight, length and lowest mortalty(880gm, 35.10cm, 12%) was recorded in experiment-II, lowest length, weight and highest mortality(540.61gm, 29.50cm, 40%) was observed in experiment-I while for experiment-III, it was recorded 698.20gm, 33.48cm, 24%.
