“…A similar result was observed in a study where common carp was fed with fish meal diet and had a significant higher weight compared to common carp fed with sunflower meal, but the difference was not significant (Ali et al, 2016). The lack of treatment effect observed in this study might be due to the short experimental period and small number of fish used in this experiment, and with a longer feeding trial and with a larger number of fish more reliable conclusions could be drawn (Khan et. al., 2003).…”

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of PL68 and soybean meal as alternative protein sources in the diet of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). The experiment lasted for four weeks. There was a significant difference (p<0.05) in the final weight and HSI between treatments. There were no significant differences for feed conversion ratio, specific growth rate, condition factor, and fillet weight between groups. The flesh color parameters, pH values and water losses (dripping loss, thawing loss, and cooking loss) did not show any significant differences between the three dietary treatments. In conclusion the result of this study showed that PL68 and soybean meal can partially replace fishmeal in common carp’s diet without any adverse effect on growth but further research is needed to evaluate the effect of different inclusion levels of PL68.

“…Partial replacement of fishmeal with sunflower meal in Trout feed revealed significant success and better growth rate [ 23 ]. Moreover, it could be decreasing the cost without affecting growth performance [ 24 ]. Additionally, Rahmdel et al [ 25 ] stated that sunflower meal could replace up to 75% of fishmeal without any negative effect on growth performance, body composition, and haemato-biochemical indices for common carp fingerlings.…”

In this study, we evaluated the consequences of replacement of fishmeal with plant protein sources (soybean and sunflower meal) on fish growth parameters, haemato-biochemical factors, body composition, and myostatin gene expression of Clarias gariepinus. A total of 150 C. gariepinus were organized in glass aquaria into five investigational groups, with each group in triplicate (30 fish/group; 10 fish/replicate). Group 1 was fed a control diet (15% fishmeal). The other groups were fed diets where fishmeal was replaced gradually with plant protein, with 10% fishmeal in the second group (D1), 7.5% fishmeal in the third group (D2), 5% fishmeal in the fourth group (D3), and 0% fishmeal in the fifth group (D4). There were no significant differences regarding growth performances and body composition among the groups, except that the feed conversion ratio was improved in D4. The different diet types did not affect hematologic parameters and blood indices. Serum growth hormone and amylase levels also revealed no significant (p = 0.09 and 0.55, respectively) differences among the groups, while serum lipase levels decreased significantly (p = 0.000) due to partial (D2) or complete (D4) substitution of fishmeal with plant protein. The replacement of fishmeal had no effects on liver (p = 0.51) and kidney functions (p = 0.34). However, D4 showed the best profit and economic efficiency compared to the other groups. Altogether, we concluded that substitution of fishmeal with plant protein sources is economically beneficial and may be without any adverse effects on growth parameters, body composition, or hematologic and biochemical parameters, but with the addition of synthetic amino acids.

The effects of replacing soybean meal with watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) seed meal (CLM) on growth, body composition, haematology and profit margin in catfish (Clarias gariepinus) breeding was evaluated. Juvenile catfish (n = 150) were acclimatised for a week, weighed and allotted into five dietary treatments; D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5 containing 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 % replacement of soybean meal with watermelon seed meal, respectively. The diets were isonitrogenous and isolipidic. Each treatment was conducted in triplicate with ten fish per replicate. The results from the study indicate that there was no significant difference (p > 0.05) in growth, carcass composition, and nutrient utilization. However, a significant variation (p < 0.05) existed in the haematological parameters among the fish fed the different dietary treatments. The incidence of cost showed that the production of fish was cheaper when CLM was used as a replacement for soybean meal. The higher carcass yield and profit per kg of fish fed CLM justifies the use of CLM as a substitute for soybean meal in the diet of African catfish.
