Influence of feeding rate and diet form on growth and survival of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fry
(Elsevier, 1987)
Young Nile tilapia (12 mg mean body weight and 11 mm total length) were stocked at a density of 5 fish/l in twelve 50-l aquaria filled with 30 l of tap water. They were fed pellet crumbles containing 35% crude protein at ...
Methionine requirement of juvenile tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon Fabricius
(Elsevier, 1996)
An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to determine the dietary requirement of postlarval Penaeus monodon for the sulfur-containing amino acid methionine. Shrimp postlarvae (mean weight 21 ± 0.3 mg) were reared in 40-1 ...
Linoleic (ω6) and linolenic (ω3) acids in the diet of fingerling milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal)
(Elsevier, 1988)
Feeding trials were conducted to determine the effects of linoleic acids on growth, survival, fatty acid composition and liver histology of milkfish. Five isocaloric semi-purified diets were formulated, either lipid-free ...
Optimum dietary protein level for growth of bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis) fry in a static water system
(Elsevier, 1991)
Isocalric diets (290 kcal digestible energy/100 g) with protein levels ranging from 20 to 50% in increments of 5% were fed to bighead carp fry (3.8±0.2 mg mean body weight and 9.8±0.1 mm total length) for 7 weeks. Growth ...
Growth and reproductive performance of bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis) reared with or without feeding in floating cages
(Elsevier, 1991)
Bighead carp (10.5 months old) stocked in cages in Laguna de Bay were assigned the following feeding treatments: 1. 40% protein diet, 2. 20% protein diet, and 3. no artificial diet (control), to determine the effects of ...
A practical method of extracting mimosine from ipil-ipil, Leucaena leucocephala, leaves and its effect on survival and growth of Penaeus monodon juveniles
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1992)
Soaking fresh ipil-ipil, Leucaena leucocephala, leaves in tap water (1:1, v/v; or 50 g in 500 ml) for 30-48 hours with a water change after 24 hours extract atleast 90% of its mimosine, a toxic lysine derivative. This ...
Freshwater cladoceran Moina macrocopa (Strauss) as an alternative live food for rearing sea bass Lates calcarifer (Bloch) fry
(Blackwell Publishing, 1991)
Fifteen day old sea bass larvae were acclimated to 10‰ S and fed ad libitum levels of Moina, Artemia or Moina + Artemia (at 1:1 ratio). Fish kept at 32 ‰ S and fed Artemia served as a control. After 20 days, specific growth ...
Effect of delayed feeding of Artemia salina and partial replacement by Moina macrocopa on growth and survival of sea bass, Lates calcarifer (Bloch), larvae.
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1994)
One-day old sea bass larvae (0.93-2.03 mm total length, 0.94-1.00 mg wet body weight) were stocked at a density of 30 larvae per liter in nine 250 l capacity fiberglass tanks. Fish were reared for 26 days on three different ...
Growth and survival of juvenile tiger shrimp fed diet where fish meal is partially replaced with papaya (Carica papaya L.) or camote (Ipomea batatas Lam.) leaf meal
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1995)
Fish meal is the major protein source in shrimp and fish diets but its continuous use would make it scarce and expensive. There are, however, potential substitutes like soybean or leaf meals. Papaya or camote leaf meals ...
Larval rearing of the Philippine freshwater catfish, Clarias macrocephalus (Gunther), fed live zooplankton and artificial diet: A preliminary study
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1991)
A preliminary study was conducted to determine growth and survival of Clarias macrocephalus fed live zooplankton (Artemia or Moina macrocopa ) and/or a dry artificial diet. The specific growth rate over a 14-day rearing ...
