  "abstract": "<p>A 3&times;3 factorial arrangement was used to determine the synergistic effects of citric acid (CA) and phytase (PHY) supplemented canola meal (CM) based diet on growth performance and nutrient digestibility of&nbsp;<em>Cyprinus carpio</em>&nbsp;fingerlings. Canola meal was used as a main ingredient to prepare diets by replacing fishmeal at graded levels such as: 0%, 25%, 50% and 75%. These diets were further supplemented by different levels of CA (0% and 2.5%) and PHY (0 and 750 FTU kg<sup>-1</sup>) to formulate a total of 16 test diets. Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was followed to add diets to the fish groups. Chromic oxide (Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) was added as an indigestible marker. Fish were fed at the rate of 5% of their live wet weight. The findings of study revealed that the maximum weight gain% (267.81%), SGR (1.44) and the lowest value of FCR (1.32) were noted when fingerlings were fed on test diet T<sub>12&nbsp;</sub>containing 50% canola meal with 750 FTUkg<sup>-1</sup>&nbsp;PHY and 2.5% CA supplementation as compared to fish fed on control diet (T<sub>1</sub>) having 0% canola meal and without any concentration of CA and PHY. Similarly, optimum nutrient digestibility values such as crude protein (75.06%), crude fat (83.31%) and gross energy (66.45%) were noted when fish fed on the same diet (T<sub>12</sub>). It may be concluded that fish meal could be optimally replaced with canola meal up to 50%, when supplemented with PHY (750 FTU kg<sup>-1</sup>) and CA (2.5%).</p>",
