Abstract The current investigation was carried out to estimate the requirement of dietary zinc for fingerling Labeo rohita (6.3 ± 0.09 cm; 2.12 ± 0.08 g) by feeding casein-gelatin based seven isonitrogenous (350 g kg−1 crude protein) and isoenergetic (16.7 kJ g−1 gross energy) diets with incremental levels of zinc (9.52, 19.73, 29.84, 51.42, 71.91, 93.14 and 112.32 mg kg−1 diet). The experimental diets were hand-fed to triplicate group of fish at 08:00, 12:00 and 16:00 h to apparent satiety for 8-week. Significant improvement (P .05) was noted in calcium and phosphorus concentrations. Haematological parameters such as haematocrit, haemoglobin, red blood cell counts, mean cell volume and mean cell haemoglobin were significantly affected (P
