Abstract:Golden mahseer, Tor putitora is a teleostean cold-water fish, known to occur in the rivers of Himalayas. Light affects the physiology of the fish. Therefore, the study was carried out to evaluate the effects of different photoperiodic regimes as environmental cues on the development of body mass, behavioural and stress responses in T. putitora. Fishes were exposed in the different photoperiodic regimes such as 8 hours light: 16 hours dark (8L:16D), 16 hours light 8 hours dark (16L:8D) and natural light conditi… Show more
