Awoke JS
Abstract:This study evaluated and compared growth performance, feed utilization and survival of Clarias gariepinus fry cultured in three different water media. The water media used were: Rainwater (T1), Bore Hole Water (T2) and Well water (T3). Fourteen ( 14) days old C. gariepinus fry of initial mean weight 0.17±0.00-0.19±0.00 g and initial mean length 0.92±0.02-0.96±0.02cm was fed for 28 days with commercial feed in plastic aquaria tanks (30l). Weight gain, specific growth rate (SGR), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and … Show more
