Role of Waterborne Copper on Survival, Growth and Feed Intake of Indian Major Carp, Cirrhinus mrigala Hamilton

Abstract: The effect of copper on survival, growth and feed intake of Indian major carp, Cirrhinus mrigala (Hamilton) fry (0.92 +/- 0.28 g) was studied for 60 days. Survival rates of the fish exposed to control (0.02), 0.10, 0.15 and 0.23 mg L(-1) copper were 100%, 83 +/- 3%, 58 +/- 6%, and 50 +/- 4%, respectively. Average daily growth was significantly (p < 0.05) lower at 0.15 and 0.23 mg L(-1) of copper. There was almost no growth at 0.23 mg L(-1) of copper. Feed intake rates reduced significantly (p < 0.05) at all th… Show more

“…Ali et al (2003) observed reduced growth of Oreochromis niloticus under different (0, 0.5, 0.3, & 0.5 ppm) water-borne Cu levels (Ali et al 2003). Also these results are in accordance with the findings of Mohanty et al (2009) that determined the effect of copper on survival, growth and feed intake of Indian major carp, C mrigala for 60 days. They observed that feed intake in fish reduced significantly (P < 0.001) at all the Cu treatments.…”

“…Significant difference was recorded in feed conversion ratios of treated (0.65) and control (0.55) fish. The control fish exhibited significantly better (0.26) feed conversion ratios than the treated fish (0.50) (Mohanty et al 2009). Javed observed low feed conversion ratios in major carps (C. catla, L. rohita & C. mrigala) due to exposure of these fish to water-borne zinc (Javed 2005).…”

“…Although an essential metal, in excess Cu has a variety of detrimental effects, impacting ionoregulation in the shorter term, growth in the longer term, and endocrine disruption (13,38,66). Furthermore, excess Cu can cause a cascade of cellular damage through Fenton-like reactive oxygen species (ROS) generating reactions.…”

“…Among the physico-chemical parameters, some factors have been regarded to directly affect the fish physiology. Therefore, incorporation of metals into the fish body occurs while among others indirectly by the changes among their active concentrations (Mohanty et al, 2009). Dissolved oxygen remains an important physico-chemical parameter that indicates water quality (Wetzel and Likens, 2006) as fish survival mainly depends on dissolved oxygen contents of the media (Ololade and Oginni, 2010).…”
