Abstract
This study aimed to explore the impact of adding methionine on growth performance, feed utilization, biochemical parameters, and economic assessment of Oreochromis niloticus . A total of 180 fries were acclimated and then randomly allocated into the experimental aquariums. Fish were distributed across 12 aquaria with 15 fry each, having an initial average weight of 83.50± 0.485g per aquarium. Methionine was incorporated at levels of 0, 5, 10, and 15g/ kg in experimental diets labeled D1, D2, D3, and D4, respectively for 56 days. Growth performance metrics such as total body weight gain (TBWG), daily gain (ADG) and specific growth rate (
期刊介绍:
The main focus of Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Biology and Fisheries is to publish peer-reviewed, original papers relating to the biology and ecology of fresh, brackish and marine wetlands. Papers on applied research in both fisheries and aquaculture are so encouraging. Preference will be given to studies that address timely and current topics such as impact of climate change and green economy. The aim of Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Biology and Fisheries is to provide a wide scope for the aquatic biologist and limnologist to address and evaluate fisheries issues related to processes and functioning at different levels (individuals, communities and ecosystems).
