A partial replacement of fish meal with Spirulina platensis (Sp) meal for the diet of juvenile shrimp Penaeus monodon (Fabricius) was analyzed for the growth and survival under laboratory condition. A total of five experimental diets were formulated with partial replacement of fishmeal by Sp meal, Sp-1 (14.3%), Sp-2 (28.6%), Sp-3 (42.8%), Sp-4 (57.14%), and the control diet (Sp meal free diet). The feeding trial was conducted for the period of 60 days. Juveniles fed with Sp meal supplemented diet showed significant (P less than 0.05) improvement of carcass composition (protein ratio and edible flesh). Higher growth and survival were obtained in P. monodon fed with Sp-3 diet, it was significantly (P less than 0.05) greater than the Sp meal free diet. The feeding efficiency (FE), specific growth rate (SGR) and survival (93.3%) of the shrimp was significantly (P less than 0.05) high in the Sp-3 diet. Survival rate was also higher in diet Sp-3 (42.8% substitution), but lower survival and growth rate observed in Sp-4 (57.14% substitution) and control diets. The Physico-chemical quality of the experimental tank water was better in Sp-3, and Sp-2 diet groups. This study recommended that Sp meal as alternative protein substitute of fish meal in shrimp diet.

Abstract The present study aimed to evaluate the feeding performance of juvenile marble goby (Oxyeleotris marmorata) on acidified diets. Five fish meal-based diets at various pH levels (2.5, 3.2, 4.3, 5.3, and 6.0 (control)) were prepared, and each of them was fed to 10 wild-caught O. marmorata juveniles (body length 7.7–9.3 cm; each fish was placed in an aquarium, hence each dietary treatment was in 10 replicates) for 20 days. Throughout the feeding trial, O. marmorata juveniles showed clear increments in the daily ingestion ratio (IR) values of AD 2.5, AD 3.2, and AD 4.3. The control diet and AD 5.3 were almost totally rejected by the fish. On day 20, the IR of AD 2.5 (0.46) and AD 3.2 (0.36) were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than those of AD 5.3 (0.1) and the control diet (0.02). In addition, 70% of fish fed AD 2.5 achieved a high IR value (0.6 – 1.0), and this was the best result among all the treatments (AD 3.2, 60%; AD 4.3 50%; AD 5.3 and control, 10%). These results suggested that acidified diets can be used to wean O. marmorata juveniles, and the recommended pH level was 2.5.

In diets for Totoaba macdonaldi juveniles (26.3 ± 4.7g y 13.6 ± 1cm) the partial replacement of fishmeal protein (HP) with shrimp head meal (HCC) was evaluated, over their growth, survival, fed conversion (FCA) and chemical composition of tissues and the apparent digestibility coefficient of dry matter (CDA), protein (CDAP) and lipids (CDAL) of these diets. The HCC used were from the whole shrimp head sun dried (F) and smashed shrimp head dehydrated in a hot air drier. Diets were isoproteic (55.5% crude protein), isolipídic (15% lipids) and isocaloric (4.6 kcal g-1) replacing 0% (control diet; DC), 15% (F15 and M15) and 30% (F30 and M30) of the HP protein by the HCC. At 57th day, survival with HCC (99.44 ± 1.92%) was higher than DC (88.89 ± 3.85 %). The gain weight, weight specific growth (TCE) and total intake were not statistically different (P > 0.05) between organisms feed with HCC, however with the M30 diet the TCE had higher average (0.99 ± 0.06) and growth (19.82 ± 1.64 g/fish). With diet M30 the FCA was the best significantly (1.61 ± 0.13) and the higher CDA (66.18 ± 1.28), CDAP (86.51 ± 0.53) and CDAL (72.29 ± 1.10). It concluded that replaced protein of HP by HCC in diet for juvenile totoaba improved the growth and CDAs, yielding better results with the inclusion of macerated HCC with a replacement level of 30%.

The study was designed to investigate the rate of larval (maggot) production from different culture enclosures, as well as to compare the cost effectiveness and utilization of the maggot in the diet of African mud catfish, Clarias gariepinus. Musca domestica larvae were cultured from poultry dung for five week, where upon they were utilized as a replacement for fish meal in the diet of fingerlings of African mud catfish. The maggots were cultured in four different enclosures: aluminium mobile maggotry, aluminium, plastic and wooden boxes. The harvested maggots were processed by oven drying and powdered as maggot meal. The maggot meal was used to substitute fish meal in eight diets with different inclusion levels of 0% (control), 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70% and 80%. The formulated diets were fed to C. gariepinus fingerlings in triplicates for 10 weeks. The growth, nutrient utilization and survival of fish were monitored during the experimental period. The cost effectiveness of different culture enclosure was studied. Results indicate that aluminium box was the best option, giving the highest weight of maggot production, and was the most cost effective of all the culture enclosures studied. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were recorded in weight gain of fish between the control and the maggot meal-based diets, while the highest weight gain was observed in fish fed 70% maggot meal-based diet. Specific and relative growth rates were found to be high in fish fed 60% maggot meal diet, while they were lowest in fish fed 20% maggot meal diet and the control diet. The best protein intake was recorded in fish fed the 70% maggot meal-based diet and lowest in fish fed the control diet. Survival of fish was generally high (78.3%-93.30%) and was significantly (p < 0.05) different between the fish fed as the control and the maggot meal-based diets. The study confirms that maggots of Musca domestica are suitable as partial replacement of fishmeal at 60-70% inclusion level for optimal growth performance and nutrient utilization in Clarias gariepinus fingerlings.

Four microencapsulated diets were evaluated with respect to the growth and survival of tropical gar Atractosteus tropicus larvae. The treatments consisted of four experimental diets and one control diet 1) fish meal, 2) a combination of pork and poultry meals, 3) Nannochloropsis gaditana meal, 4) enzyme preparation and the control treatment 5) Artemia nauplii. The evaluation indicated that the larvae fed the Artemia nauplii obtained the greatest growth and survival (3.93 cm, 0.19 g y 82 % respectively), which justifies a correct culture system operation. While larvae fed microencapsulated diets best values in survival were observed with diets Nannochloropsis gaditana and enzyme preparation (20.0 and 19.2 %). Our results showed that microencapsulated could be used to feed A. tropicus in feasibly form. However, more information concerning to optimize the design and manufacturing are required to improve the growth and survival of organisms.

The study examined the effect of partial replacement of fishmeal with Spirulina platensis (SP) and Chlorella vulgaris (CL) powder in the diets of African catfish Clarias gariepinus (Burchell 1822) fingerlings on growth performance and body composition. Nine diets (45.14-48.45% crude protein) consisting SP or CL as fishmeal replacement at zero (control), 12.5, 25, 50 and 75%, were fed to triplicate groups of 10 fingerlings (7.82±0.08 g) each for 56 days. The results showed statistically higher weight gain, specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio, relative growth rate, Fulton’s condition factor (K) and a corresponding lower feed conversion ratio when the replacement of C. vulgaris was at 75%. Proximate analysis revealed a significantly greater carcass protein in the SP12.5% and the highest flesh lipid and gross energy in SP75% groups. Flesh lipid increased with increasing SP and CL levels. Polynomial curve estimation regression analysis revealed the optimum fishmeal replacement levels for best growth are at 68.5 and 69.4% for SP and CL, respectively. CL was found to be more efficient in terms of growth and effective feed utilisation than SP.

Abstract Seriola lalandi is an important species for aquaculture, due to its rapid growth, adaptation to captivity and formulated diets, and high commercial value. Due to the rise in fish meal (FM) price, efforts are made to replace it partially or entirely with vegetable meals in diets for carnivorous fish. The use of prebiotics when feeding vegetable meals has improved fish health. In this study, four experimental diets were assessed in juveniles, the control diet consisted of FM as the main protein source, the second diet included 2% GroBiotic®-A (FM-P), the third included FM with 25% replacement by soybean meal (SM25), and the fourth consisted in SM25 with 2% of GroBiotic®-A (SM25-P). RNA-seq of the liver tissue was performed, followed by differential expression analysis and functional annotation to identify genes affected by the diets. Growth was not affected by this level of FM replacement, but it was improved by the prebiotic. Annotation was achieved for 78,826 transcripts, of which 135 were up-regulated and 78 down-regulated among all treatments compared to the control. Transcriptomic profiles of control samples were clustered with those from fishes fed SM25 and SM25-P diets, and the most differentiated group was that one fed the FM-P diet. SM25-P showed the least amount of differentially expressed genes, maintaining general transcriptomic profiles of control diet in the liver, therefore this diet is a potential economic alternative to the FM diet, for S. lalandi juveniles. Assessment of the effects of this diet along the digestive tract is recommended.

Availability of good-quality shrimp feed is an important factor of shrimp increased production. High protein feed can be generated by adding raw materials that contains high protein. One of the raw materials that contains high protein is earthworm meal (Lumbricus sp.). This research goal was to study the influence of the substitution of fish meal by earthworm feed with different proportions toward growth and survival rate of tiger shrimp larvae (Penaeus monodon). The experimental design used Completely Randomized Design (RAL) consists of five treatments with three replications: Feed test A (25%  earthworm meal + 75% fish meal), feed test B (50% earthworm meal + 50% fish meal), feed test C (75% earthworms meal + 25% fish meal), feed test D (100% earthworms meal) and feed test E (commercial feed). Results showed that the tiger shrimp which given feed test E is the best result for tiger shrimp growth with 0.480 ± 0.076 grams/individual, while feed test B was the best result for tiger shrimp survival rate with 82 ± 3.46%., and on the feed test D was the best result for tiger shrimp feed conversion rate with 4.0 ± 0.17. Based on results of statistical tests showed that the substitution of fish meal with earthworm meal did not give significant effect on growth and survival rate of tiger shrimp.

<p>A 42-days growth trail was performed to evaluate the effect of lyso-lecithin in <em>Penaeus monodon</em> (5.08±0.08 g) in terms of growth and carcass fatty acid composition. Three iso-nitrogenous and iso-lipidic diets were prepared by partially replacing both marine protein and oil sources using plant based ingredients in the presence of soy-lecithin or lyso-lecithin. Each experimental diet was randomly allotted to three tanks with fifteen shrimps per tank and all the tanks were equipped with the flow-through system. Results revealed that shrimp fed diet with lyso-lecithin had significantly (p&lt;0.05) higher specific growth rate, SGR (2.15) and daily growth coefficient, DGC (1.44) than those fed soy-lecithin (1.91 and 1.25 respectively). The growth pattern, feed and protein efficiency measures were not only better with lyso-lecithin compared to soy-lecithin and also on par with the control group. However, there was no significant difference in survival (82.22 to 84.44%) between the dietary treatments. The fatty acid composition of diets to a certain extent was reflected in the carcass composition of shrimp. The most essential fatty acids <em>viz.,</em> eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids were significantly (p&lt;0.05) higher in shrimp fed lyso-lecithin supplemented diet. Present results suggest that lyso-lecithin enhances growth performance of <em>P. monodon</em> and carcass fatty acid composition compared to soy-lecithin due to its high emulsification properties with partial replacement of marine sources.</p>
