Effect of Stocking Density on Production of <i>Clarias Gariepinus</i> (Tuegels) in Floating Bamboo Cages at Kubanni Reservior, Zaria, Nigeria

Abstract

The African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus, Teugels) were reared at three different stocking densities in bamboo-net cages to evaluate the effects of stocking density on growth, survival rate and food conversion ratio. Three hundred (300) fish with a total weight of 1.

Influence of stocking density on the culture potential of endangered riverine catfish Rita rita (Hamilton, 1822) in raceway

“…The survival rate of P. hypophthalmus in cemented tanks was also not clearly influenced by stocking density (Malik et al, 2014). This was also in agreement with the results of cage culture of sutchi catfish P. sutchi (Rahman et al, 2006), African catfish C. gariepinus and vundu catfish H. longifilis (Toko et al, 2007), Asian river catfish P. bocourti (Jiwyam, 2011) and C. gariepinus (Dasuki et al, 2013). The survival rate of Rita (100%) was similar to that of C. gariepinus (100%) and H. longifilis (96.7 -100%) cultured in ponds (Toko et al, 2007) and was higher than that of many other catfishes such as hybrid catfish C. gariepinus x H. longifilis (37-59%) reared in tanks (Ofor and Afia, 2015), M. gulio (50.17-64.41%) reared in earthen ponds (Siddiky et al, 2015), C. gariepinus (70 80%) reared in concrete tanks (Edward et al, 2010) and H. fossilis (71-87%) reared in farmer's ponds (Kohinoor et al, 2012) with varying stocking densities of all the catfishes.…”

The effect of dietary fish meal replacement with blood meal on growth performance, metabolic activities, antioxidant and innate immune responses of fingerlings black carp, Mylopharyngodon piceus

“…In 2004, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported that due to the high demand of fish and seafood, aquaculture has become a fast‐growing industry in the world (FAO, 2004). Fish meal is the most important protein source for fish diets because of its high protein contents, high essential fatty acids, amino acids in balanced proportion, digestible energy, minerals and vitamins (Dasuki et al., 2013; Hernandez et al., 2004). The increase of fish meal in both price and demand was caused by fast growing of aquaculture industry which led to be the highest expensive protein source in aquaculture feed (FAO, 2016; Saidi et al., 2010).…”

FITOREMEDIASI LIMBAH BUDIDAYA IKAN LELE (Clarias sp.) DENGAN KANGKUNG (Ipomoea aquatica) DAN PAKCOY (Brassica rapa chinensis) DALAM SISTEM RESIRKULASI

“…Tingkat kelangsungan hidup ikan pada pengamatan lebih rendah dari penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Dasuki et al [43] , yaitu 99.5-99.84%, namun lebih tinggi dari penelitian Jimoh et al [42] yaitu 77.78-86.68%. Kelangsungan hidup ikan dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor diantaranya kualitas air (oksigen terlarut, amonia, suhu, pH), pakan, umur ikan, lingkungan, dan kondisi kesehatan ikan [32,44].…”
