Fishmeal is the most expensive feedstuff in the aquafeed and one of the most environmentally limiting factor of aquaculture development. Therefore, the search for alternative protein sources is a continuous process. The present feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of replacing fishmeal with zooplankton biomass meal (ZBM) on the growth performance, nutrient utilization, intestine, and liver histological changes of grey mullet, Mugil cephalus (initial weight of 0.10 ± 0.01 g). Five isoproteic (35% crude protein) and isolipidic (8% crude lipid) diets were formulated as the control diet (Z0) and the other four diets (Z25, Z50, Z75, and Z100), where 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of fishmeal was replaced by ZBM, respectively. After 60 days of feeding, the final weight, weight gain, and daily growth index of the grey mullet fed the Z100 diet were higher than those fed the control diet (p < 0.05). In addition, the better values of feed conversion ratio, protein efficiency ratio and lipid efficiency ratio were recorded in the fish fed with the Z100 diet. Additionally, the intestinal villus length, crypts depth, and muscle thickness were significantly improved with ZBM inclusion (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, there were no histopathological changes observed on the liver when compared with the control group. From the economic point of view, dietary substitution of fishmeal by ZBM (Z100) reduced the cost of diet formulation by 18% and the price per kg weight gain by about 40%. Overall, according to the findings of this study, substituting fishmeal with ZBM up to 100% could improve growth performance, feed utilization, gut health status, and profit ability of rearing M. cephalus juveniles.

“…The correlation between number of zooplankton species and temperature is presented here. Physiological, metabolic activities and distribution of aquatic organisms generally depends on water temperature (21)(22)(23) . The number of zooplankton increases significantly with the increasing temperature.…”

Background/Objective: Present study was carried out to identify zooplankton density at Baburpukur pond along with physicochemical properties. In India. Planktonic richness reflects the biodiversity stock. The present study assumes greater importance for biodiversity conservation/ pollution indicator and aquaculture of fish and prawns. Methods/Statistical analysis: Statistical analysis in this experiment was performed by Student's t-test. In this test, 0.05 probability, degree of freedom, critical t-value, and calculated t-values were recorded. Here zooplankton number along with physico-chemical parameters was recorded. From these t-values, significant seasonal variations were found in the respective water body. The zooplankton density and physiochemical parameters were recorded during the period of Jun 2018 to February 2020. Diversity of zooplankton has been counted using Sedgwick-Rafter counting chamber. Findings: Four different species of zooplankton were studied such as Daphnia, Cyclops, Cypris and Brachionus. Zooplankton community structure generally changes with temperature, pH of water, free CO 2 level, dissolved O 2. This study also reveals that zooplanktons have their own peak periods of density which is influenced by the above environmental conditions. Application: At present, this water reservoir is suitable for fish culturing. So several management practices are necessary to conserve this zooplankton density for proper healthy situation of water body. This study is also helpful in understanding the zooplankton diversity of Baburpukur Pond with proper maintaining of aquaculture.
