Siamese catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) at juvenile stage is used as ornamental fish by fish hobbies because of their beautiful shape and movement. Feeding time is a part of feeding management to get the best and effective strategy on feed input. This study aimed to determine the growth of Siamese catfish juvenile by looking at the influence of feeding time on feed utilization. The average individual weight of juveniles used was ± 3.2 g stocked 15 fish per aquarium equipped with recirculation system. Two level factors in the factorial design consisted of 4 feeding times (at 8:00, at 12:00, at 16:00, and as control (8:00, 12:00, 16:00) and feeding level (45 g feed kg-1 fish, 90 g feed kg-1 fish). Interaction between feeding time and feeding level resulting eight types of treatments research, namely A (8/45), B (12/45), C (16/45), D (8:12:16/45), E (8:12:16/90), F (8/90), G (12/90), and H (16/90). The results showed that feeding time had significant effect on the specific growth rate, feed conversion, and protein efficiency ratio and were significantly different among the treatments (P<0.05). Besides feeding time control (treatments D and E), treatment C also showed the highest of specific growth rate (2.03%), protein efficiency ratio (1.46), and the lowest feed conversion ratio (1.85).

The use of Silkworm (Anaphe infracta) pupae as a protein source was investigated for its ability to replace fishmeal in the diet of Clarias gariepinus, African cat fish. Five dried diets formulated at 40% crude protein were fed to fingerlings of an average initial weight of 14.33g at 0 (control diet), 25, 50, 75 and 100% inclusion levels of silk worm meal. The experiment was conducted for 84 days were measured. Mean weight gain (MWG), specific growth rate (SGR), feed conversion ratio (FCR). The five inclusion levels of silk worm pupae supported the growth of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings, the growth and feed utilization were favoured by high inclusion level of silk worm meal. Significant differences (p<0.05) were observed among the treatments, although there were no significant differences (p>0.05) in the growth parameters between 50% and 75% inclusion levels. The 100% silk worm pupae meal inclusion gave the best final mean weight gain of 10.29g specific growth rate of 0.93%, feed conversion ratio of 2.18 and protein efficiency ratio (PER) of 0.012. The carcass protein and lipid contents increased compared to the levels of both at the beginning of the experiment. Even though, there were no significant differences (p>0.05) among proximate composition of the fish groups fed 25, 50 and 75%. The results showed that diet consists of 100% silk worm meal could be used as a complete replacement for fish meal in the diet formulation for Clarias gariepinus fingerlings.

Pengembangan budidaya ikan lele, Clarias gariepinus sering terjadi kendala dengan biaya pakan yang terlalu tinggi (60-70% dari biaya produksi). Barangkali, penggunaan bahan baku lokal seperti pemanfaatan tepung telur ayam yang nilai nutrisinya tinggi, mudah didapat, dan murah harganya merupakan salah satu solusinya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji dan mengetahui pengaruh penambahan tepung telur ayam afkir dalam pakan buatan yang berprobiotik terhadap efisiensi pemanfaatan pakan, pertumbuhan dan kelulushidupan ikan lele dumbo (C. gariepinus). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimental dengan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) yang menggunakan  4 perlakuan dan masing-masing 3 kali kali ulangan. Perlakuan itu adalah pakan yang tanpa menggunakan tepung telur ayam afkir (Perlakuan A), pakan yang menggunakan tepung telur afkir masing-masing sebanyak 15%, 30%, dan 45% sebagai Perlakuan B, C, dan D. Ikan uji  bibit lele dumbo (C. gariepinus) yang ditebar mempunyai bobot rerata 2.04±0.05 g dengan kepadatan 1 ekor/L yang dipelihara selama 42 hari. Variabel data yang diukur meliputi Tingkat Konsumsi Pakan (TKP), Efisiensi Pemanfaatan Pakan (EPP), Feed Convertion Ratio (FCR), Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER), Relative Growth Rate (RGR), dan Survival Rate (SR). Hasil penelitian ditunjukkan bahwa penggunaan tepung telur ayam afkir pada pakan buatan memberikan pengaruh yang nyata (p < 0.05) terhadap TKP, EPP, FCR, PER, dan RGR, tetapi tidak berpengaruh nyata (P≥0,05) terhadap SR. Perlakuan dengan penambahan tepung telur ayam afkir sebanyak 30% (Perlakuan C) memberikan nilai terbaik untuik TKP sebesar 146,87%, EPP sebesar 88,77%, PER sebesar 2,61% dan RGR sebesar 7,65%/hari dari perlakuan lainnya. Monitoring nilai kualitas air pada media pemeliharaan telah menunjukkan bahwa pada kisaran yang layak untuk pemeliharaan ikan uji. Catfish cultivation development, Clarias gariepinus often occur constraints with the high cost of feed  (60-70% of the production cost). Perhaps, the use of local raw materials such as the utilization of rejected chicken egg with high nutritional value, easy to obtain, and cheap price is one of the solution. The purpose of this research was to know the effect of addition of rejected chicken egg  powder inprobiotized artificial feed on the efficiency of feed utilization, growth and survival rate of catfish, C. gariepinus. This study was used an experimental method with completely randomized design (RAL) by using 4 treatments and each of them 3 replications. The treatments were feed without use of rejected chicken egg powder  (Treatment A), feed using 15%, 30%, and 45% of powder  meals of rejected chicken egg  as treatment B, C, and D, respectively. Catfish, C. gariepinus seeds were stocked with a mean weight of 2.04 ± 0.05 g with a density of 1 tail / L and cultured  for 42 days. The data variables measured were  Total of Feed Consumption (TFC), Feed Utilization Efficiency (FUE), Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER), Relative Growth Rate (RGR), and Survival Rate (SR). The results showed that the use of chicken egg starch in artificial feed gave a real effect (p <0.05) on TFC, FUE, FCR, PER, and RGR, but no significant effect (P≥0,05) on SR. Treatment with the addition of 30% chicken meal (Treatment C) had the best value for TFC at 146.87%, the FUE of 88.77%, the PER of 2.61%  and the RGR of 7.65% / day than of the another treatments. Monitoring of  water quality values on maintenance media has shown that at a reasonable range for the maintenance of catfish culture.

Triploidy induction is a useful tool to produce sterile fish that prevents interbreeding of farmed fish with wild counterparts. In this study, growth performance and feed conversion rates of 12-months old diploid and triploid turbot that reared both communally and separately for 16 months at constant water temperature determined. At the end of the experiment, diploid, triploid, and communally reared groups reached an average weight of 672.4±21.0 g, 659.2±25.3 g and 660.5±12.0 g, respectively. Any significant differences were not observed in the weight of separately reared diploid and triploid turbot groups. In contrast, triploid fish in the communal group were significantly heavier than diploids at the end of the rearing period. The feed conversion rate of the ploidy group did not show any significant difference between groups. The highest mean specific growth rate was observed in the triploids in communal groups, whereas the diploids in communal groups had the lowest mean specific growth rate. The weight and length gain rates of the groups were similar. Diploid turbot growth appeared to be negatively affected by communal ploidy rearing. The results of the present study indicate that triploid turbot farm escapees may be advantageous in terms of growth in nature.

An experiment was designed and carried out to assess the growth performance and feed utilization (weight gain, feed conversion ratio, protein efficiency ratio, specific growth rate, feed intake and survival) of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings fed graded levels of toasted Leucaena leucocephala seed meal based diets with the aim of establishing the best inclusion level of Leucaena seed meal. One hundred and eight (108) fingerlings with an initial mean weight of 2.10g were allotted at random to six treatments in triplicate groups with each treatment tank having six fingerlings and were fed with isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets containing 40% crude protein (CP). The toasted seed meal was used to replace soybean meal in the diets in the following proportions: diets I (0%), diets II (10%), diets III (20%), diets IV (30%), diets V (40%) and diets VI (50%). At the end of the feeding trials that lasted for 6 weeks, the mean weight gains of fish, relative weight gain, specific growth rate, feed intake, feed conversion ratio and protein efficiency was highest in treatment I while mean weight gain of fish, relative weight gain, specific growth rate and feed conversion ratio was lowest in treatment V. Feed intake was lowest in treatment VI and protein efficiency was lowest in treatment II. Survival among treatments slightly varied significantly but was not as a result of the feed consumed. At the end of the experiment, the recommended inclusion level of Leucaena seed meal was 20%.

To establish an effective feeding regime for Carassius auratus, this experiment investigated the effects of feeding ration and feeding frequency on growth, feed utilization and body composition in juvenile C. auratus (Initial weight: 1.66 ± 0.018 g). A 4 × 4 experimental design of four ration sizes (2, 3, 4 and 5% body weight per day [BW/day]) with four feeding frequencies (1, 2, 3 and 4 meals/day) was carried out over 8 weeks with three replicates per treatment. The results showed that weight gain and specific growth rate (SGR) increased significantly (P less than 0.05) with the feeding ration from 2% BW/day to 3% BW/day and feeding frequency from 1 meal/day to 4 meals/day. Similarly feed conversion ratio (FCR) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) were significantly better (P less than 0.05) at feeding ration of 3% BW/day than 4 and 5% BW/day at 4 meals/day than 1, 2 or 3 meals/day. SGR, FCR and PER further reduced when feeding ration was increased beyond 3% BW/day. Lipid content improved with the increased feeding frequency at all feeding rations, however feeding frequency did not exhibit a significant effect on crude protein level (P>0.05). Moisture content of body showed an opposite trend to lipid content and decreased with increase in feeding frequency. In conclusion, feeding ration of 3% BW/day and feeding frequency of 4 meals/ day was found to be better for maximal growth and feed utilization of young ones of C. auratus.

Thai pangus polyculture with carps has been increasing for its high potential, however very few attempts were made to compare its growth using different types of feed. A research was undertaken to assess the effect of three types of feed on growth of Thai pangus (Pangasius hypophthalmus) and rohu (Labeo rohita) in polyculture system for 11 months from 15 May 2005 to 15 April 2006 in Khulna. Growth performance using Hand-made Feed (F1) was compared with two commercial fish feed, Sunney Feed (F2) and Saudi-Bangla Feed (F3) in three respective treatments of T1, T2 and T3. All treatments were carried out in triplicate at 24700/ha for Thai pangus and 4940/ha for rohu. Average initial weight of Thai pangus and rohu were 4.5 and 33.5g respectively. Growth performance was influenced by feed type. Average final weight of Thai pangus and rohu were 820 and 710; 846 and 770; and 872 and 717g with specific growth rate 1.58 and 0.93; 1.59 and 0.95 and 1.60 and 0.93 % day -1 in T1, T2 and T3 respectively. Feed conversion ratio was estimated 2.3 in T1, 2.1 in T2 and 1.96 in T3. The result showed a typical increasing trend of final weight and specific growth rate of Thai pangus along with the increasing of feed protein level. But rohu showed highest growth in T2 where protein level was 26-30% which was lower than that of T3 (Protein level 28-32%). The study suggests that suitable protein level and quality feed is required for adequate growth of fish. Key words: Feed, Thai pangus, Polyculture, Growth.     doi:10.3329/ujzru.v27i0.1956 Univ. j. zool. Rajshahi Univ. Vol. 27, 2008 pp. 59-62

This research was conducted to determine the effect of giving different lime on the survival rate and growth of snack head seeds. This writing uses a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 3 replications. The hypothesis being tested was that the application of the limed lime had no significant effect on survival rate, the growth of snack head seed and the specific growth rate and lime administration differed significantly in feed conversion. The study was conducted at the Wet Aquaculture Laboratory, Palangka Raya University starting from February 3 - March 3, 2020. The results showed that the administration of different lime had no significant effect on survival rate, growth and specific growth rates but had a significant effect on feed conversion. The best survival rate of snack head seeds is in treatment D (250 g) that is equal to 57.73%, the best weight growth is in treatment C (200 G) that is equal to 3.16 grams, the best length growth is in treatment D (250 g) that is 2.57 cm, the best specific growth rate is in treatment D (250 g) which is 2.92% / day, and the best feed conversion value is in treatment D (250 g) which is 1.47%. Water quality such as temperature, acidity (pH) and dissolved oxygen (DO) are still in the normal range.
