    abstract = {The probiotic Efinol<SUP>&reg;</SUP> FG was added to basal diet (control) in four concentrations <I>viz</I>., T1-10<SUP>3 </SUP>cells g<SUP>-1</SUP> incorporated diet; T2-10<SUP>4</SUP>, T3-10<SUP>5</SUP> and T4-10<SUP>6</SUP> cells g<SUP>-1</SUP> and supplied to the striped snakehead <I>Channa striatus</I>. <I>C. striatus</I> fed with probiotic diet showed significantly better growth performance (p&lt;0.05) than those fed on basal diet alone. The total heterotrophic gut bacterial count in T4 was higher 7.7&plusmn;1.89x10<SUP>8</SUP> CFU g<SUP>-1</SUP> when compared to that of the other 3 trials as well as control diet. The mean digestive enzyme activity of all probiotic treatments was significantly different (p&lt;0.05) from that of the control. The protease activity of 2, 3 and T4 was significantly &gt;T1 and the control. Among the different probiotic trials no significant difference was noticed between 3 and T4. The amylase activity of T4 was the highest 68.71&plusmn;5.23 U mg<SUP>-1</SUP> and significantly different (p&lt;0.05) from that of the control 47.83&plusmn;3.75 U mg<SUP>-1</SUP> and T1 49.97&plusmn;3.98 U mg<SUP>-1</SUP>. All the probiotic treated <I>C. striatus</I> showed higher lipase activity than that of the control 78.93&plusmn;5.31 U g<SUP>-1</SUP>.}
