Abstract
An integrated system for biogas production from mango-processing wastes and utilization of biogas effluent for production of major carp Rohu, (Labeo rohita) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio) was studied. Mango peels produced 0·21 m3 of biogas per kg of total solids. Biogas effluent of mango peels, when used at 34 kg/100 m2 area in ponds as the sole source of feed for carps, yielded 8·35 kg/100 m2 of fish which had acceptable colour, flavour and taste every 120 days.
