Four experimental diets were formulated to contain Citrullus lanatus, Moringa oleifera seed meal, Citrullus lanatus and Moringa oleifera seed meals as partial replacement for fishmeal (Treatment 2, 3 and 4 respectively) and Treatment 1 as control, which included fishmeal and soy bean meal as the protein sources. The fed were to one hundred and twenty (120) African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) of mean weight of 25±5.0 g and mean length of 14±2.0 cm in replicates for 10 weeks growth period. The results obtained showed that fish fed treatment 3 had highest mean weigh gain. More so, treatment 1 had the highest percentage weight gain and specific growth rate. Treatment 4 had the highest food conversion ratio and treatment 1 had the highest length increase. The result of the economic analysis of the four treatments showed the treatment 4 and 3 are the cheapest while treatment 1 is the most expensive. All the treatment diets showed that growth due to the different protein sources were not significant (p>0.05). The result of this study therefore revealed that partial replacement of fishmeal with Moringa oleifera seed meal can be used in the diet of Clarias gariepinus juveniles.

Background: Natural preservatives are compounds produced by natural ingredients that can suppress bacterial growth and development. Natural preservatives are carried out because most of the preservatives circulating are chemicals and unsafe for the body. One of the natural preservatives is by using garlic extract (Allium sativum L).  Objective: This study is aimed to determine the effectiveness of the antibacterial garlic (Allium sativum L) as a natural preservative in fresh African catfish (Clarias gariepinus).  Method: This research used the Pour Plate iroculation method. African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) which is soaked with garlic (Allium sativum L) with a concentration of 7%, 14% and 21% for 30 minutes, then the fish will be kept at room temperature with a storage period of 24 hours and 48 hours and calculated growth in bacterial numbers with the Colony counter.  Result: Based on the research result, it was found that garlic extract (Allium sativum L) can obstruct the effectiveness of antibacterial in African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) at a concentration of 14%.

<p><em>Effect of four types of diluents</em><em>s</em><em> and four concentration of DMSO (5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) against the motility of African catfish sperm were evaluated after storage at freezing temperatures. </em><em>The steps in preparation the 16 treatments combination of the diluents</em><em> </em><em>are </em><em>preparation of diluents, mixing </em><em>diluents </em><em>with DMSO, packing </em><em>of semen </em><em>in</em><em>to</em><em> 0.3-ml straw, equilibration of </em><em>semen </em><em>at 4 °C for 30 minutes, freezing </em><em>of </em><em>semen in nitrogen vapor liquid </em><em>at </em><em>a height of 6.5 cm for 10 minutes</em><em>,</em><em> and subsequent</em><em>ly</em><em> storage of </em><em>semen </em><em>in liquid nitrogen (-196</em><em> <sup>0</sup></em><em>C) for further analy</em><em>sis</em><em> </em><em>of </em><em>post-thawing motility (PTM). </em><em>The result showed that t</em><em>he highest level of motility of spermatozoa </em><em>was </em><em>in </em><em>treatment </em><em>P</em><em><sub>1</sub></em><em>D</em><em><sub>15 </sub></em><em>(45.7 ± 4.3%) and the lowest </em><em>was </em><em>in </em><em>treatment </em><em>P<sub>2</sub>D<sub>20</sub> (14.5 ± 13.2%). The best diluent </em><em>in </em><em>this observation </em><em>was </em><em>diluents containing NaCl, KCl, CaCl<sub>2</sub> and NaHCO<sub>3</sub>. The best concentration </em><em>was </em><em>DMSO 15%. While the best interaction between the concentration of DMSO diluents is P<sub>1</sub>D<sub>15</sub> treatments containing NaCl, KCl, CaCl <sub>2</sub> and NaHCO<sub>3</sub> with a combination of 15% DMSO concentration. </em><em>The </em><em>conclusion </em><em>of the research is that </em><em>diluents containing NaCl, KCl, CaCl<sub>2</sub> and NaHCO<sub>3</sub> with a combination of 15% DMSO concentration</em><em> can be used in </em><em>cryopreservation of African catfish semen</em><em>.</em></p>
