ABSTRACT Effects of different levels of salinity (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 ppt) on survival, feed intake and growth of freshwater clariid, Clarias batrachus were studied in a thirty days laboratory experiment. Although the fingerlings tolerated the salt level in water between 0 and 4 ppt, severe mortality was observed beyond 6 ppt after 7-23 days of rearing. No significant (P
