UVR is a stressor that affect ecological and social systems. It has been noted that UVR presents numerous difficulties for aquatic and human worldwide. It's critical to understand how UVR affects Clarias gariespinus in order to promote healthy fish growth. This study determined how UVR affected catfish. 172 catfish samples were divided into four groups: UV-A, UV-B, UV-C, and controls. The control group was not exposed, whereas the other groups were exposed to UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C, respectively. The exposure period was 131 days, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm daily. The result on color change shows that UV-C causes a change in color from dark to pink at the fingerling stage and UV-A causes a change in color from dark to slightly pink at the jumbo size, while no color change was observed in other samples. The result on growth rate indicates that the UV-B sample grew faster throughout the period of study, with the highest growth rates of 18.4, 16.2, 14.1, and 8.6 cm for the UV-B, UV-C, control, and UV-A samples, respectively. The result on the mortality rate of the samples shows that the control sample recorded the highest death rate (23) at the fingerling stage, followed by the UV-A (22), UV-C (19), and UV-B (12) samples. The result depicts that UV-B is capable of a rapid increase in the weight, growth, and life span of catfish; hence, exposure of catfish to UV-B can be adopted by fish farmers to improve the healthy fish growth of their farm.
