The dietary protein requirement of the Malaysian mahseer, Tor tambroides (Bleeker), and the lack of protein-sparing action by dietary lipid

Two sequential feeding trials were conducted, firstly, to determine the optimal protein requirement for Tor tambroides (Bleeker) fingerlings, and secondly, to investigate the potential protein-sparing effect of dietary lipid when dietary protein is below the requirement. In Experiment 1, triplicate groups of hatchery-raised F1 generation of T. tambroides were fed semi-purified diets containing one of five dietary protein levels (30 to 50%) for 8...
