Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of amino acid glycine on growth indices, survival rate, food intake and resistance to salinity stress in Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) fingerlings. Fish with an average weight of 15.46±0.18 gr were devided in to four groups and fed with different levels of glycine including diets containing 0 (control), 0.5 (treatment 1), 1 (treatment 2) and 1.5 (treatment 3) of glycine were fed for 60 days and then exposured to salinity stress 15 ppt for 72 houres. The experimental design was a complete randomized data analysis performed SPSS and Excel software package. The results showed that there was no significant difference among studied groups regarding growth indices (final weight, SGR, CF and FCR) (P>0.05). Body weight gain affected significantly by glycine (P<0.05). The addition of glycine to the diet increases observed in survival and resistance to stress salinity in common carp. Hence according to the results obtainer of present study, it can be concluded that the glycine improved the resistance can increase survival of common carp under salinity stress.
