“…Thus producing an heterotrophic food web in the fish tanks for the fish to feed. This is in line with the findings of (Shroeder 1978;Oliva-Teles and Groncalves 2001;Ansa and Jiya 2002). The result of the haemalological parameter analysed goes to confirm that the use, of microbial protein in the experimental tanks did not adversely impact on blood parameters compared with the control.…”

A study was carried out to assess the in situ production of microbial protein in outdoor experimental tanks for the culture of Oreochromis niloticus. This was compared with pelleted 30% protein diet. The results indicated that there was no significant difference in growth and nutrient utilization between the 30% protein pelleted diet and the diets in which the microbial protein was produced in the tanks at (P>0.05) Also analysis of the blood parameters did not give a significant difference in the values obtained for PCV, Hb, Wbc, MCHC, Lct, ESR and platelets at (P>0.05) between the control and the microbial protein produced in the experimental tanks

“…The proposal is therefore an in situ production and utilization of microbial proteins which is highly accessible to fish; thus short circuiting the high processing cost (Ansa and Jiya 2002;Li and Gatlin 2003).…”

“…Organic manures, being less expensive compared to chemical fertilizers, contain almost all the essential nutrient elements (Jana et al, 2001), and are traditionally applied to fish ponds to release inorganic nutrients which stimulate the growth of plankton (Wurts, 2000;Ansa & Jiya, 2002;Kadri & Emmanuel, 2003). The available organic pool in manured ponds is usually duplicated everyday via bacterial production (Schroeder, 1987).…”

Abstract：To test the effectiveness of introducing live zooplankton against direct manuring in ornamental fish ponds upon their survival and production, larvae of koi carp, Cyprinus carpio L., were cultured for 11 weeks in earthen ponds maintained according to four management regimes: (1) live zooplankton fed to carp larvae (LF); (2) direct fertilization with poultry manure (PM); (3) direct fertilization with cowdung (CD); and (4) a control treatment (C). There were three replicates for each treatment. The growth of heterotrophic bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms like Aeromonas sp. and Pseudomonas sp. were also examined in response to pond management. Values of dissolved oxygen were significantly higher (P<0.05) in the water of LF ponds, compared to other treatments, while the PM and CD treatments recorded were significantly higher (P<0.05) values of PO 4 -P, NH 4 -N, NO 3 -N, NO 2 -N, specific conductivity, alkalinity, and BOD, compared to the LF and C treatments. The percentages of organic carbon and total nitrogen in the bottom sediments were higher in the PM and CD treatments compared to LF (P<0.05). Average counts of heterotrophic bacteria in the water of PM and CD ponds were significantly higher than other treatments (P<0.05). The development of Aeromonas sp. and Pseudomonas sp. were significantly higher (P<0.05) in the PM and CD treatments. Weight gain of koi carp stocked in LF was significantly higher (P<0.05) than that of fish in the other treatments. There was a significant difference in the survival rate of koi carp among the treatments ranging from 67.21% in C to 90.11% in LF. The results suggest that raising koi carp larvae in ponds and feeding them exogenously with zooplankton would support high rates of survival and production through maintenance of better water quality and greater abundance of zooplankton in the system. Significantly lower abundance of Aeromonas sp. and Pseudomonas sp. in the LF treatment considerably lowered any possibility of occurrence of bacterial disease.

“…Moreover, some carps even feed upon the undigested fraction of these manures directly, which may be low in nutrient value but the microorganisms adhering to them are of high protein value (Schroeder, 1980;Ansa and Jiya, 2002).…”

Growth performance of Oreochromis mossambicus (Cichlidae) (Peters, 1852) as well as phyto-and zooplankton production were estimated in water filled cisterns receiving Mixed Fertilizer (MF; Single super phosphate and Urea in 1:1 ratio), Single super phosphate (SP) and Vermicompost (VC) as direct application fertilizer. Significant differences (P<0.001) were observed in the diversity and abundance of plankton in response to fertilization with MF, SP and VC. The different fertilizer and manure used can be graded in the following descending order: VC, MF and SP. The least concentration was accounted in control sets. The highest production of fish was obtained in vats treated with VC (4,000.00 kg.ha -1 90 day -1 ) followed by MF (3,100.00 kg. ha -1 90 day -1 ), SP (2,030.00 kg. ha -1 90 day -1 ) and the lowest in control (CO) sets (390.00 kg. ha -1 90 day -1 ). The highest yield of fish in vats applied with VC is attributed to its highest manorial value.
