The present study investigates the age-related variations in the biochemical composition of Labeo rohita (Hamilton) under contrasting soil pH conditions. Conducted at the Department of Fisheries and Agricultural Biochemistry, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh, the research focuses on fish from a 5-year-old pond with normal soil (pH 7.0) and a newly constructed pond with alkaline soil (pH 9.5). Fish specimens were categorized into four age groups: 6, 18, 36, and 60 months, with age determination following the methodology of Johal and Tandon (1996). Biochemical analyses were performed on muscle tissue to assess moisture, fat, protein, and carbohydrate content. A Complete Randomized Design (CRD) was employed to evaluate the significance of age and soil pH on these parameters. Preliminary findings suggest that both age and environmental factors, such as soil pH, influence the biochemical composition of Labeo rohita. These insights are crucial for optimizing aquaculture practices and enhancing the nutritional quality of fish.
