<br/><br/>Thesis 
<br/><br/> The study aimed to evaluate the effects of photoperiod on the growth performance of bighead carp (hypopthalmichthys nobilis) from post fry to fingerlings. The experimental treatment evaluated was: treatment I12 L: 12 D, Treatment II18 L: 6D and Treatment III 24 L: 0 D. The study was conducted for duration of 60 days. The experimental species were assigned to three treatments laid out in a single group design. Result showed that bighead carp in treatment III obtained the highest weight gain of2.05 g followed by Treatment I with weight gain of 1.94 g and Treatment II obtained the lowest weight gain of 1.74 g. Analysis of variance revealed there is no significant difference in weight gained among treatments. The highest length gain was attained by bighead carp in Treatment III obtained the highest length gain 31.73 mm. followed by Treatment II obtained a length gain of 26.95mm. And treatment I obtained the lowest length gain of 24.62 mm. Analysis of variance revealed there is significant difference in length gained among treatments. The highest survival rate was recorded in treatment III with 87.50% followed by Treatment II got a survival rate of 85.83%. Treatment I got a lowest survival rate of 79.17%. Analysis of variance revealed there is no significant difference in survival among treatments. The highest survival rate was recorded in Treatment III with 87.50% followed by Treatment II got a survival rate of 85.83%. Treatment I got a lowest rate of 79.17%. Analysis of variance revealed there is no significant difference in survival among treatments.
