  "abstract": "<p>Studies were conducted to explore the survival and growth potential of&nbsp;<em>Tor macrolepis</em>&nbsp;in existing polyculture system when cultured with Indian major carps&nbsp;<em>viz</em>,&nbsp;<em>Labeo rohita&nbsp;</em>(Rohu),&nbsp;<em>Catla catla</em>&nbsp;(Thaila) and&nbsp;<em>Cirrhinus mrigala&nbsp;</em>(Mrigal). There were two treatments and a Control, with three replicates each. Fish stocking density in all the treatments was kept 2000 fish/ha. Control contained only&nbsp;<em>Tor macrolepis</em>&nbsp;(100%); Treatment-1 (T1) stocked with&nbsp;<em>Labeo rohita&nbsp;</em>60%, mrigal 25% and&nbsp;<em>Catla catla</em>15%; while Treatment- 2 (T2) with&nbsp;<em>Tor macrolepis</em>&nbsp;20%,&nbsp;<em>Labeo rohita&nbsp;</em>50%,&nbsp;<em>Cirrhinus mrigala&nbsp;</em>20% and&nbsp;<em>Catla catla</em>10%. Fish was fed daily, @ 5% of its body weight and studies were continued for 120 days. Among treatments,&nbsp;<em>Tor macrolepis</em>&nbsp;gained slightly higher weight in T2 than Control;&nbsp;<em>Labeo rohita&nbsp;</em>gained significantly higher in T1 than T2;&nbsp;<em>Cirrhinus mrigala&nbsp;</em>gained slightly higher weight in T2 than T1 and&nbsp;<em>Catla catla&nbsp;</em>gained similar weight in both, T1 and T2. Overall&nbsp;<em>Catla catla&nbsp;</em>gained maximum weight while&nbsp;<em>Tor macrolepis</em>&nbsp;gained minimum. The survival rate and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of&nbsp;<em>Tor macrolepis</em>&nbsp;was significantly higher in T2 than Control. It is observed that&nbsp;<em>Tor macrolepis</em>&nbsp;has some food overlapping with&nbsp;<em>Labeo rohita</em>.</p>",
