Abstract: The present experiment was conducted to study the impact of feed starvation in bioindices of Anabas testudineus fingerling for a period of 15^th weeks from the 4^th December, 2016 to 18^th March, 2017. Bioindices such as Condition factor (K), Hepatosomatic index (HSI) and Gastrosomatic index (GaSI) of fish in different treatments were recorded. The Condition factor (K) of fish in different treatments fluctuated from a minimum of1.063 (D4) to maximum of 1.33 (D2). The HSI of fish in different treatments varied from a minimum of 1.125(D4) to maximum of 1.618(control). The GaSI of fish in different treatments ranged from a minimum of 3.07 (D4) to maximum of 3.48(control) during the experimental period. There was no significant difference (P<0.05) in Condition factor of fish among the different treatments. In case of GaSI there was no significant difference (P<0.05) between the treatments and control. But in case of HSI there was significant difference (P<0.05) in D1, D3 and D4 respectively. The present study concluded that the well being status of fish was not affected.
