Question

Which of the following is a surface feeder?

• A. $Catla$ $catla$
• B. $Labeo$ $rohita$
• C. Mrigal
• D. Common carps
  

Answer 1

The correct option is A $Catla$ $catla$

On the basis of food compatibility, five or six species of fish are reared in the same pond. This technique is known as Composite farming. For example, $Catla$ $catla$ is a surface feeder, $Labeo$ $rohita$ is a middle zone feeder. Common carp and Mrigals are bottom feeders, therefore they can be reared in the same pond.
