Effect of Dietary Protein Level on Growth Performance, Protein Utilizat ion and Body Composition of Nile Tilapia Cultured in Low Salinity Water

Published: Jan 1, 2014
Abstract
The juveniles of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (body weight 1.0±0.03 g) were reared in seawater tanks (35 liters each) in order to examine their optimum dietary protein r equirements. They were fed four isoenergetic (20.3 kJg -1 ) diets containing 25%, 30%, 35% and 40% protein at a daily ration of 5% body weight for 42 days. Fish fed diets of 35% and 40% protein produced higher weight gain and growth rate than those of the other diets....
