Screening of inexpensive and indigeneous ingredients for use in practical feed for juvile sea bass (Lates calcarifer Bloch)
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
An eight-week feeding experiment with juvenile sea bass (about 15 g) was conducted in 500-1 fiberglass tanks to screen the most cost-effective practical diet for use in ponds and floating cages. Eleven formulations and one ...
Development of artificial diets for milkfish (Chanos chanos) larvae
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
This study aims to develop nutritionally balanced and cost-effective artificial diets for milkfish larvae. Two larval diets (Feed A and Feed B) were formulated and prepared to contain 45% protein and 10% lipid. Several ...
Feed quality problems and management strategies
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Feed is the single most important input in increasing aquaculture production and profits. Success or failure in augmenting yield with feeding depends, to a large extent, on the quality of the diet. Feed quality, generally ...
Farm-made feeds: preparation, management, problems, and recommendations
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Making feeds exclusively for certain farming activities is quite common in the tropics particularly in the farming of fishes that feed low in the food chain. Feed preparation will depend on several factors such as availability ...
Feed formulation and evaluation for semi-intensive culture of fishes and shrimps in the tropics
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Semi-intensive farming systems account for about 70% of fish and crustacean aquaculture production in the tropics, employing semi-intensive feeding methods ranging from the use of low-cost pond fertilization techniques to ...
The effect of different levels of vitamins premix in the diet of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) fingerlings
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
The present study was conducted to determine the growth and survival of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) fingerlings fed diets with various levels of vitamin premix. The fingerlings (mean weight, 1.55 to 2.12 g) were ...
Effects of dietary carbohydrate, lipid and energy on the growth, feed efficiency, and tissue composition of bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis) fry
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
The utilization of dietary carbohydrate and lipid as energy sources for bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis) fry and various protein:energy ratios were investigated in a 2x3x3 factorial feeding experiment. Semi-purified ...
Future considerations in fish nutrition research
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Considerable progress has been made In the field of fish nutrition during the past two decades. Nutritional data for some species such as trout, salmon, channel catfish, and common carp are well established and efficient ...
Farming of all-male java tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) at two stocking densities in cages in a brackishwater pond
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
A study was conducted to determine the growth, survival, and yield of allmale Oreochromis mossambicus in cages at two stocking densities: 50 fish/m2 (Treatment I) and 100 fish/m2 (Treatment II) in a brackishwater pond. The ...
Weaning of the Asian catfish, Clarias macrocephalus Gunther, larvae to formulated dry diet
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Two feeding trials lasting 10 days each were conducted to determine the weaning time in the Asian catfish, Clarias macrocephalus, larvae to dry diet feeding. Three-day-old catfish larvae were fed newly-hatched Artemia ...
