A 45-day experiment was carried out to evaluate the growth performance,digestive enzymes activity and biochemical response of Cirrhinus mrigala fed graded levels of oil.Three isonitrogenous purified diets (6%,8% and 10% of oil) were formulated.A total of 108 juveniles of Cirrhinus rarigala (5.95±0.25) g were equally distributed in triplicate groups in nine plastic tanks of 100 L capacity and fed under natural light cycle.Growth performance of the fish significantly reflected the effect of inclusion levels of oil tested but the diet with 8% lipid had the best significant growth performance [% weight gain,Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) and Specific Growth Rate (SGR)],across different experimental groups.Levels of secretion of digestive enzymes in the fish fed different experimental diets resulted in significant values of (p<0.05) amylase and lipase,while Aspartate transaminase (AST),Alanine transaminase (ALT),Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and Malate dehydrogenase (MDH) values in the muscle and liver decreased significantly (p<0.05) as the levels of oil in the diet increased.However,serum biochemical parameters did not record any significant difference (p>0.05) with the exception of the total lipid across diets.The study confirmed the inclusion effect of graded levels ofoil in juvenile Mrigal diet,but the inclusion should not be more than 8% to avert growth depression.
