Effects of protein levels of commercial diets on the growth performance and survival rate of rabbitfish (Siganus guttatus) at the nursing stage (original) (raw)
Journal of Experimental Biology and Agricultural Sciences
This study aimed to determine the effect of a commercial diet's protein level on the fry-to-fingerling stage. Thirty days-old fries having the initial length and weight of 18.25 ± 0.15 mm fish-1 and 0.036 ± 0.50 g fish-1 respectively have been used in this study. Diet having three protein levels i.e. 30% (trial 1 as control), 35% (trial 2), 40% (trial 3), and 45% (trial 4), respectively, have been used to evaluate the effect of protein, and each trial has been repeated three times. During the study, stocking density was allocated to 1000 fish per composite tank with a volume of 1 m3. After 30 days of rearing, the weight of fingerlings in trial 1 reached up to 1.50 ± 0.02 g fish-1 and it was recorded as 1.52 ± 0.01g for trial 2, these two were lower than that of trials 3 and 4, where fingerling weight was reported 1.69 ± 0.01 and 1.58g fish-1 respectively and obtained the best weight compared to others. The length of fingerlings at the end of the experimental period was also chan...

Ornamental fish farming has become an important industry in the world. Ornamental fish are called living gems because of their color, shape and behavior. Modern ornamental fish production requires a nutritionally balanced, cost-effective and sustainable feeding process. Among the operating costs in aquaculture, the cost of feed has a ratio varying between 40% and 60% among the total other expenses. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of meal number on growth performance and survival rate in Electric yellow cichlid fries (Labidochromis caeruleus). 60 Electric yellow cichlid fries were stocked in 12 aquariums of 33 * 35 * 40 cm size established in Tekirdag Namık Kemal University Technical Sciences Vocational School Fisheries Laboratory. The study was carried out in 3 repetitions: 1 meal per day, 3 meals, 5 meals and 1 meal every other day, up to 5% of body weight, by applying 4 different meals to fish. During the study, weight and height measurements were made every...

The present experiment was conducted to study the optimum crude protein level for milkfish, Chanos chanos seed reared in floating net cages in closed bay, Bapatla, Andhra Pardesh, India, during May to July, 2016 for a duration of 63 days. Milkfish fry were obtained through natural seed collection. Rectangular floating net cages made of bamboo poles was provided inside with 1×1×2m hapas. Milk fish with mean body weight of 2.81±0.07 g were stocked at the rate of 40 fish/m in each hapa in the rectangular cages. Triplicates were maintained for each treatment. Fish fry were fed with 5 artificial dry diets containing 12.5% (Control C), 15% (T1), 25% (T2), 35% (T3) or 45% (T4) crude protein. The diets were fed at the rate of 10% of the biomass for a period of 63 days (9 weeks). Water quality parameters like D.O, p, salinity, NH, NO, NO and temperature were estimated at weekly intervals and were within the optimum range for culture of milk fish. At the end of 63 days growth experiment, fish...
