Natural and anthropogenic causes have led to soil degradation, salinisation of inland areas, groundwater. The degraded soils are unsuitable for primary agriculture, but can be utilised saline aquaculture. ICAR-CIFE has initiated a selective breeding program faster growth in common carp cultured at low salinity (6–8 ppt). present study demonstrates the dynamic nature physico-chemical parameters Inland Saline Ground Water (ISGW) potential selectively bred F1 generation using ISGW. About 1560 fingerlings were stocked two ponds, each representing unique size class (> 100 g < g). "The water quality parameters, viz., temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, total hardness, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium recorded during culture period had mean values 30.27 ℃, 6.73 ppt, 8.48, 5.02 mg L−1, 1544.83 217.29 177.22 L−1 332.33 respectively". average body weight stocking Pond 1 2 was 42.43 180.86 g, respectively. standard length 10.57 cm 16.57 cm, overall means harvest 200 days summer months 432.48 ± 4.14 22.72 3.04 effects length, sex fish, by pond interaction found significant on weight. Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), Efficiency (FCE), Protein (PER) obtained 2.19, 45.8, 1.53; 2.25, 44.44, 1.48, daily gain 1.58 1.61 In conclusion, reared an environment showed similar pattern both classes as reported freshwater culture. Thus, recommends candidate species aquaculture advocates its scientific propagation.
