Abstract
This study investigated the effects of varying dietary protein and lipid levels on the growth performance and whole-body composition of climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) fry. Fish (initial weight: 0.34 ± 0.01 g) were fed nine semi-purified diets with three protein (35%, 40%, and 45%) and three lipids (6%, 8%, and 10%) levels for 60 days. While survival rates were unaffected by dietary treatments, fish fed a diet containing 40% protein and 8% lipid exhibited significantly higher (P < 0.05) weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR), protein efficiency ratio (PER), and protein productive value (PPV), and lower feed conversion ratio (FCR) compared to other groups. Dietary protein and lipid levels had significantly (P < 0.05) affected whole-body composition. Second-order polynomial regression analysis showed that the optimal dietary protein and lipid requirements for climbing perch fry are in the ranges of 40.54—40.68% and 8.17—8.30%, respectively. These findings provide valuable insights for formulating nutritionally balanced diets to support optimal growth and development of A. testudineus fry.
期刊介绍:
Aquaculture International is an international journal publishing original research papers, short communications, technical notes and review papers on all aspects of aquaculture.
The Journal covers topics such as the biology, physiology, pathology and genetics of cultured fish, crustaceans, molluscs and plants, especially new species; water quality of supply systems, fluctuations in water quality within farms and the environmental impacts of aquacultural operations; nutrition, feeding and stocking practices, especially as they affect the health and growth rates of cultured species; sustainable production techniques; bioengineering studies on the design and management of offshore and land-based systems; the improvement of quality and marketing of farmed products; sociological and societal impacts of aquaculture, and more.
This is the official Journal of the European Aquaculture Society.
