“…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).…”

“…So, the amount of protein in the diet should be just enough for fish growth, where the excess protein in fish diet may be wasteful and cause diets to be unnecessary expensive (Ahmad, 2000). Realization of the optimum protein level for cultured fish would help to reduce the costs and maximize the feed conversion efficiency (Charles et al, 1984;Sampath, 1984;Chiu et al, 1987). Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the optimum protein level leading to optimum growth of the Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, using a recirculating water system.…”

ABSTRACThe study investigated the effect of dietary protein levels on growth performance and body composition of the Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus fingerlings (8.0 g), using a recirculating water system. The system consisted of eight rearing concrete tanks, underground plastic tank acts as a clarifier and upper plastic tank acts as a biofilter. The system was supplied with air and water pumps. Fish were fed on four dietary protein levels (20%, 25%, 30% and 35%) to satiaty for 6 days a week for 6 months. Results showed that fish growth was significantly affected by protein level. Fish fed on 30% protein diet attained the highest growth (higher weight gain, higher daily weight gain and higher specific growth rate). The best food conversion ratio (FCR) (2.05) was obtained by 30% protein diet, while the poorest FCR (2.72) was obtained by 20% protein diet. Protein efficiency ratio (PER) was significantly affected by protein levels. It decreased with increasing protein level. Results of body composition showed that protein and lipid contents were significantly affected by protein level. Protein content was significantly increased with increasing protein level in the diet. In contrast, lipid content was inversely affected by increasing the dietary protein level. The study showed that the recirculating water system is suitable for Nile tilapia culture in Egypt, and that a diet containing 30% crude protein is economical and suitable for Nile tilapia fingerlings feeding.

“…In this study which is carried out in the sea water ambient (temperature range 6 to 9°C), it was understood that the rainbow trout can show a better feed intake and a better growth with a dispersed feeding series during the day. In various experiments which carried out different species, it has been explained that with the increase of feeding frequency the growth also increases, too (Charles et al, 1984;Sampath, 1984). On the other hand, depending on the increase of the number of feeding frequency, the amount of feed intake in a day increases while the amount of feed intake in a meal decreases (Ruohonen and Grove, 1996).…”

This study was done to investigate the effects of different feeding frequencies on the growth, feed efficiency and specific growth rate (%) of juvenile of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, weight 16.44±0.22 g) rearing in cold sea water conditions (5.8 to 9.3°C; 17 to 18 ppt). Fish were fed on a commercial feed to the apparent satiation twice a day (Control), six times every day (TD6), four times every day (TD4) and three times every day (TD3) for 8 weeks of the trial. The fish fed to satiation in all the experimental groups. Weight gain, growth rate, feed intake and final body weight decreased with reduction of feeding frequency from six times daily to two times daily. The fish fed at TD6 had relatively high apparent net protein retention and better feed conversion efficiency compared with the fish fed at the control, TD4 and TD3. The feeding frequency had significant effect on the crude lipid, crude protein but not moisture and crude ash proximate composition of rainbow trout. It was recommended that six meals per day was the optimal feeding frequency for juvenile rainbow trout reared in cold sea water at 5.8 to 9.3°C, 17 to 18 ppt.
