      abstract = {An experiment was conducted for 140 days in earthen ponds  to evaluate the effect of three dietary
protein levels on  the growth and maturity of bagrid catfish Mystus gulio.  Three different iso-caloric feeds
containing 30%, 35% and  40% dietary protein levels were prepared from indigenous  fish feed
ingredients and were fed to Mystus gulio at the  rate of 5% of total body weight of the fish. The  overall
growth of Mystus gulio fed with feeds of different  levels of dietary protein was found to increase with  the
increase of dietary protein levels in the feed. The  gonadosomatic index (GSI) values of both male and
female  were higher in Feed-C (40% protein) compared to the Feed-A  (30%) and Feed-B (35%). There
was significant differences  (P<0.05) between the gonadosomatic index values of Mystus  gulio fed on
different dietary protein levels. Statistical  analysis showed that the feed at a level of 40% protein  was
significantly different from other feeds and most  effective in changing the growth and maturity of M.
