Abstract: The present experiment was conducted to study the impact of feed starvation in fish muscle of Anabas testudineus fingerling for a period of 15th weeks from the 4th December, 2016 to 18thMarch, 2017. The initial values of moisture, protein, lipid and ash were 80.73%, 14.10%, 2.05% and 1.20% in, D1, D2, D3 and control respectively. After termination of the experiment the corresponding moisture values were 73.42%, 73.52%, 74.43% and 74.87%, 73.33% in D1, D2, D3, D4 and control, respectively. Crude protein levels were 19.06%, 18.88%, 18.72%, 18.12%, and 19.25% in, D1, D2, D3 and D4, control respectively. The corresponding lipid contents of muscle were 2.64%, 2.56%, 2.03%, 1.90% and 2.86%. The corresponding total ash values were 2.42, 2.34, 2.08, 2.04, and 2.61 in D1, D2, and D3and D4 control respectively. There was no significant difference in moisture content and protein content among all the treatments during the period of investigation. There was significant difference in crude lipid content among D3 (P<0.05) and D4 (P<0.05) treatments during the period of experiment. In the ash content there was no significant difference between control and D1 as well as control and D2. However, there was significant difference in D3 (P<0.05) and D4 (P<0.05) compared to control during the period of experiment.
