Abstract The present study was performed to evaluate the survival performance of Pangasianodon hypophthalmus in inland saline water. P. hypophthalmus (0.41±0.03g) for 60 days. The experimental design consisted of freshwater as the control and inland ground saline water fortified with KCl at 100% to that of equivalent salinity sea water (K - Equivalence) at salinities 5,10,15, 20,25 as the treatments KT1, KT2, KT3, KT4 and KT5 respectively (with Potassium Fortification) and without Potassium fortification as treatment groups T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. However, growth retardation has been encountered with the increasing salinity in the experimental treatments. The results indicate that P. hypophthalmus can tolerate the salinities up to 15 ppt in inland saline water where as 100% mortality was observed in treatments (20 ppt) and (25 ppt) after 48 hours and 18 hours, respectively in (with Potassium Fortification and without Potassiumfortification) both the tanks . Though P. hypophthalmus survived up to 15 ppt but the optimum salinity for culture is 10 ppt in inland saline water. The results obtained from the experiment clearly indicate that potassium amendment do not have much influence on the survival of P. hypophthalmus, at any of the tested salinities in inland saline water.
