title: Effects of textile dye stuff effluent on food utilization of Cyprinus carpio (Linn.).
abstract: Dye stuff effluent at 15% caused 100% mortality within 24 hr; 96 hr LC50 value being 10% concentration. Prolonged exposure of C. carpio to chosen sublethal concentrations (1, 3, 5, 7 or 9%) reduced the food intake and increased the maintenance cost. Exposure also caused significant reduction in growth rate and conversion efficiency; these values averaged to 11 mg/g/day and 28% in the control group (0% concentration) respectively and decreased to 0.8 mg/g/day and 4% respectively at 9% concentration.
