Growth and Biochemical Responses of Clarias batrachus Fry Under a Compounded Diet-Feeding Regime
Year: 1996
Type: article
Abstract: A study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of a compounded diet in the rearing of fry of catfish, Clarias batrachus, along with two other conventional feeding methods. Protein level in the diets was maintained at a little more than the general requirement of the species. Feed acceptance, growth, feed conversion, protein utilisation, levels of tissue RNA/DNA and intestinal enzyme activities were high in the compounded diet-fed fishes. A significant relationship was established between weight increment and digestive enzyme activites.
