BIOCHEMICAL CHANGES INDUCED BY AMBIENT CALCIUM LEVELS IN THE FRESHWATER FISH LABIO ROHITA

摘要

Influence of different ambient calcium levels on proximate composition of Labeo rohita (0.802 g) was evaluated after a period of 30 days. The moisture content was found to decrease with increase in ambient calcium level and it showed a negative correlation (r=-0.9901), while carbohydrate, protein and lipid levels increased with increase in concentration of calcium (r=0.9196, 0.9971 and 0.9624, respectively). It reveals the suitability of L. rohita for alkaline waters.
