the change in temperature. Oxygen consumption studies were carried out on fingerlings
(seed) of Labeo rohita, Cirrhina mrigala, Catla catla, Hypophthalmicthys molitrix and
Ctenopharyngiodon idella at four different temperatures i.e., 15, 20, 25, 30°C in laboratory
conditions. Labeo rohita seems to be the most tolerant species having highest oxygen
consumption rates and better survival at low available oxygen concentration in water. Catla
catla (at 15 and 30°C) and Hypophthalmicthys molitrix (at 20°C and 25°C) are least tolerant
species with highest oxygen consumption rates. Rate of oxygen consumption is greater in
Labeo rohita at 15, 20 and 25°C but highest in Cirrhina mrigala at 30°C. Labeo rohita seems
to be the most tolerant species having highest oxygen consumption rates and better survival
at low available oxygen concentration in water. Ctenopharyngiodon idella and Cirrhina
mrigala are moderately tolerant species among the fish species under study.]]>Auld, A.H.,1973Mugil cephalus).]]>26591597Barton, B.A. and B.R.
