Abstract

Studies were conducted to determinate the effect of different levels of aflatoxin contaminated feed on growth performance and survival rate of fish Clarias batrachus. There was a significant decrease in average length gain, total weight gain, average weight gain as well as survival rate with increase in contamination of aflatoxin in the feed of the fish.
