Thirteen different types of aquatic and terrestrial plants proposed to be used as fodder for grass carp were collected for analysis of different nutritional elements like dry matter, proteins; lipids, carbohydrates and ash contents. Dry matter was significantly highest in Zea mays and lowest in Marsilia quadrifolia. Sorghum bicolor showed significantly highest protein while Marsilia quadrifolia had lowest, Lipid was significantly highest in Sesbania sesban and lowest in Hydrilla sp. and Trifolium alexandrinum. Carbohydrate was significantly highest in Zea mays and lowest in Potamogeton sp. Ash content was significantly highest in Chara sp. and lowest in Typha angustifolia. Economically, the cheap source of protein was calculated as Sorghum bicolor with a rate of Rs.6.29 per 1000 g of protein in-the local market. But it has no advantage over other fodder due to non-availability throughout seasons.
