There has been an increasing demand of fishes as dietary supplement all over the world. In this context commercial production of fishes is time demand .Both government and private sectors are encouraging fish production in our country to meet the consumer’s demand. Keeping in view the above fact,the present paper aims at study of growth pattern of some fishes in water reservoirs of East Champaran district of North Bihar particularly in Sirrha Chorma reservoir .For this three species of fishes viz –Catlacatla (ham), Labeorohita (ham) and Cirrhinusmrigala(ham) are taken in this account. These fish species were stocked @ 7000 fingerlings/ha with the stocking ratio of 40:30:30 between 27-30 august 1999. At the time of stocking average weight and length were 4-6(5.1)gm and 72.77(74.5)mm Catlacatla.3.5-4.8(4.3)gm and 63-67(65)mm length of Labeorohita and 3.0-4.0(3.71)gm and 60-64(61.9)mm length of Cirrhinusmrigala. They were at first kept in hapas “fixed on bamboo pole in the reservoir for 10 to 12 days prior to release in the water supplementary feeding”was provided at 1.5% of the body weight, sampling of fishes was done between 28 to 30 November and 25 to 28 January and 27 to 29 March and 28 to 30 June 2000 to record increased length and weight of the three fishes. After harvesting, it was found that Catlacatla showed increased length and weight as in 321mm and 674gm Labeorohita, 396.7mm and 613.4gm Cirrhinusmrigalaas 341.5 mm and 363.3gm.
