The present study was conducted to evaluate the …effect of dietary selenium on growth performance and antioxidant enzymes activity in Cirrhinus mrigala for a period of 45 days. Four numbers of experimental diets were prepared, T c for Control (0 mg organic selenium/kg of diet), T 1 (2.5 mg organic selenium/kg of diet), T 2 (5.0 mg organic selenium/kg of diet) and T 3 (10 mg organic selenium/kg of diet). The water quality parameters (temperature, DO, pH, conductivity, hardness, ammonia, nitrate and nitrite) were found to be insignificant ( p > .05) among all the treatments. Superoxidase dismutase (SOD) was found to be significantly highest in T 2 (6.10 ± 0.07) when compared with the other treatments. Similarly, catalase (CAT) activity in T 1 (13.21 ± 0.13) was significantly ( p < .05) different with that of Control, T 2 and T 3 . Present study also revealed that 2.5mg organic selenium/kg supplemented diet ( T 1 ) showed highest results in net weight gain (15.55 ± 1.36 g), net weight gain percentage (185.88 ± 8.98%) and SGR (2.35 ± 0.06 g) compared with other experimental diet.
