“…Snakeheads of the genus Channa include several carnivorous species that possess high economic value and are widely recognized as staple food fish (Courtenay and Williams, 2004;Qin and Fast, 2007;Sampath, 1984;Sampath and Pandian, 1984;Wee, 1982). In addition, snakeheads are used as ornamental fish in aquariums and their consumption is considered therapeutic for wound healing after trauma and surgical procedures including, Cesarean sections (Benziger et al, 2011;Gam et al, 2006).…”

“…The present study showed that feeding zebrafish with live food and 400 g kg −1 and 450 g kg −1 dietary protein level resulted in statistical higher egg production per female and relative fecundity than those fed with 350 g kg −1 protein diet. It has been reported that dietary protein and lipid levels of broodstock diet affects the reproductive performance of fish including ornamental fish (Sampath & Pandian ; Ling et al . ).…”

Present experiment was conducted to determine the effect of different feeds with varying protein levels on the growth, survival and reproductive performance of zebrafish, Danio rerio. The control diet (T1) was wild-collected zooplankton from local fish ponds, while test diets with 350 g kg À1 protein (T2), 400 g kg À1 protein (T3) and 450 g kg À1 protein (T4) were formulated and fed to fish for a period of 210 days. The significantly (P < 0.05) highest mean weight gain and specific growth rate were observed in T1, which were similar with T3 and T4. The significantly (P < 0.05) highest number of egg production per female and relative fecundity were found in T1, followed by T4 and T3 while T2 produced lowest number of eggs. No significant (P > 0.05) differences were observed in brood survival rate, fertilization and hatching rate among the dietary treatments. The highest (P < 0.05) fry survival rate was recorded in T1, followed by T3 and T4. Thus, it is suggested that control diet i.e. mixed zooplankton exhibited better growth, reproductive performance and fry survival rate. However, diet containing 400 g kg À1 crude protein also gave comparable results in terms of growth, survival and reproductive performance of zebrafish.

“…In addition to affecting growth, nutritional factors influence health and affect hematology of fish (Sampath and Pandian 1984). An ideal dietary protein level should ensure maximum growth of fish and also maintain good health.…”

The present study evaluated the effect of dietary protein levels on growth performance and blood parameters of juvenile marbled spinefoot ( Siganus rivulatus). Five semipurified, isoenergetic (14.2 MJ digestible energy/kg; 84 g lipids/kg) diets were formulated to contain 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 g crude protein (CP)/100 g diet. Groups of 15 juvenile fish (7.4 g individual weight) were randomly assigned in triplicate to each of the five treatments and offered the test diets three times daily ad libitum for 9 weeks. Total erythrocyte and differential leukocyte counts, hematocrit, hemoglobin, blood glucose, protein, and serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were evaluated. Survival was greater than 95% in all treatments. Maximum growth was observed in fish offered the diet containing 40 g CP/100 g diet crude protein. Differences in dietary protein level had no effect on the hepatosomatic and viscerosomatic indices of the fish, but whole body composition was influenced by diet. Blood parameters showed no physiological or metabolic dysfunctions among fish offered any of the five diets. Findings of the present work strongly suggest that diets containing 40 g CP/100 g and 14.2 MJ digestible energy/kg are suitable for good growth of juvenile spinefoot rabbitfish Siganus rivulatus and do not affect hematological parameters.
