    BIOENERGETICS OF THE FRESH WATER FISH Clarias batrachus EXPOSED TO TREATED SAGO EFFLUENT
    (Baraton Interdisciplinary Research Journal, 2011) Ramesh Francis, K. Nagarajan, and A. Gracelyn Portia
    Bioenergetics of the fresh water fish Clarias batrachus was studied after exposure to sub-lethal concentrations of treated sago effluent. The concentration chosen were 25%, 50% and 75%. Estimation of growth was calculated by weighing the fish at 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th days of the experiments. The growth rate, conversion rate and conversion efficiency were reduced with increasing concentrations of sago effluent. The study reveals that there are more physiological stresses to the fish exposed in higher concentrations of treated sago effluent than the lower concentrations. Key Words: Clarias batrachus, Sago effluent, bioenergetics.
