Assessment of chemoreceptivity in goldfish (Carassiusauratus) fingerlings to identify natural food attractants for feed formulation

Goldfish (Carassiusauratus) is one of the popular choice of fish hobbyist among the ornamental fish and usually kept in large numbers in aquarium or ponds. Thus type of feed and feeding routine are crucial to prevent overfeeding that will lead to the pollution of the aquarium. The assessment of chem...
