In the present investigation alive freshwater grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella fingerlings were collected from Himalayan fish farm near Thanjavur from June 2015 to May 2016. The fishes were fed with control and the plant Cynodon dactylon mixed experimental diet. The growth performance such as ABW, ABL, BWG (body weight gain) and SGR (specific growth rate) were thoroughly studied adopting standard procedure. The result of the study clearly indicates that there was a significant variation in growth parameter of control and experimental fish. The fish fed C. datylon mixed diet showed elevated level in body weight, body length, weight gain and specific growth rate. The study reveals the fact that plant material mixed diet is more suitable for grass carp culture practice.
