This study reports the effect of a probiotic strain Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes on growth of rohu (Labeo rohita) fingerlings. The growth was assessed by morphometric measurements, feed conversion ratio, feed conversion efficiency and protein efficiency. The formulated fish feed was fermented by P. pseudoalcaligenes. Which was introduced in fish aquaria @ 3% b.w.t. in two forms; with live bacteria (SSF1) and without live bacteria (SSF2). In 90 days experiment, morphometric measurements were made fortnightly. SSF1 showed significantly better growth performance than those of SSF2 and control groups. At last phase (90 days), SSF1, SSF2 and control groups showed FCR as 1.68, 2.28, 2.20 and FCE% 59.53, 44.75, 45.38 respectively. Both groups showed wet body weight gain than control group at all phases while significantly better weight gain was recorded in SSF1 group. Furthermore, SSF1 showed increased protein efficiency ratio (0.43) than SSF2 and control groups. These results clearly indicate the importance of probiotics and fermentation technology in aquaculture science.
