Abstract
Fish Rasbora daniconius were exposed to HCH sublethal concentrations and their effect on feeding and growth were studied. Feeding rate was found to be decreased with increase in HCH concentration treatment. Similar pattern was observed for the growth and specific growth of the freshwaterfish under different HCH sublethal concentration.
