The performance of three pronged carp farming was evaluated in 10 mid Himalayan fish ponds located at 1450-1500 m asl in the west Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh. The fishes were stocked with a density 3 fishes/m3 . The performance of 3 fish species (Silver carp-Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Grass carp-Ctenopharyngodon idella and Common carp-Cyprinus carpio) in terms of growth, survival and contribution to total biomass were studied and analyzed. The achieved average production was 78.6 kg, 76.5 kg and 137.9 kg for silver carp, grass carp and common carp, respectively. Among the 3 species the production was higher for common carp (47.1%) followed by silver carp (26.8%) and grass carp (26.1%). The production figures indicate that culture of Chinese carps in mid Himalaya can be suitably adopted and can contribute substantial income to the tribal fishers of hilly region.Keywords: Chinese carp farming, mid Himalayas, Arunachal Pradesh, production, cost-benefit
