Effect of dietary carbohydrate to lipid ratio on performance of Nile tilapia and enhancement of natural food in pond aquaculture
Type: Journal Article
This study tested the effect of two diets differing in carbohydrate to lipid (CHO:LIP) ratio (4.7 vs. 19.5 g/g) on the contribution of natural food and the total fish production in tilapia ponds. Eight ponds, each divided ...
Metabolic growth, plankton selectivity, haemato-biochemical and intestinal morphometry of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fed a lysine-deficient diet in earthen ponds
Type: Journal Article
Sustainable aquaculture requires the efficient use of natural pond resources as well as supplements to meet the dietary requirements of fish species. However, aquaculture diets are often produced without considering the ...
Nitrogen retention, nutrient digestibility and growth efficiency of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fed dietary lysine and reared in fertilized ponds
Type: Journal Article
Two diets were formulated, a low lysine (LowL) and a balanced lysine diet (BalL), containing 9.10 and 13.10 g lysine kg−1 feed, respectively. Twenty fish (30.2 ± 1.9 g) per tank were stocked in 110-L tanks, mounted in a ...
