Result of the study reveals that fish fed DT 4 (30 minutes) had the best performance in terms of mean weight gain, feed conversion ratio, feed conversion efficiency, protein efficiency ratio, apparent net protein utilization and specific growth rate (P>0.05). Hence, hydrothermal processing of watermelon seeds for 30minutes is recommended for better growth in C. carpio.
