Abstract
The investigation was aimed at determining the effect of antibiotics on the growth
and maturation of goldfish. The fishes were stocked in rectangular cement tanks
and fed with artificial feed incorporated with antibiotics (virginiamycin and
oxy'tetracycline) at three different concentrations. Among the doses tested for
virginiamycin 50 ppm treatment showed highest response for both maturation and
growth. The mean weight increment for individual fish was observed to be 4.409
g. In oxy'tetracycline treatment 150 ppm gave positive result for total weight gain
of the fishes.
