AB  - This study was aimed to examine the effects of water salinity on the growth performances of sutchi catfish. A total of 180 of sutchi catfish juveniles with mean average weighed 4.10 = 0.05 were randomly allocated to each of the nine 45 L tanks, each tank were stocked with 20 fish. Fish were fed with the commercial starter diet twice a day between 0900 and 1600 hours for 86 days. The growth performance, survival rate and feed efficiency were evaluated. There was a significant result between treatments on fork lenght while the rest were not significant. Based on the results from tha experiment, it can be concluded that sutchi catfish juvenile were euryhaline as they are able to adapt to wide range of salinities because almost all fish survived at low level of salinity. This study provides insights into culturing sutchi catfish in low salinity environment.
