“…This was in line with a previous study with fry of European seabass, Dicentrarchus labrax where the growth, survival and feed utilization were positively affected by the addition of carotenoids (Sallam, Mansour, Srour, & Goda, 2017). The result revealed that the fish improved growth performance when diet was supplemented with ML which was similar with previous studies in red swordtail Xiphophorus helleri (Ezhil, Jeyanthi, & Narayanan 2008), golden pompano, Trachinotus ovatus (Xie et al, 2017) and yellowtail cichlid, Pseudotropheus acei (Guroy, Sahin, Mantoglu, & Kayali, 2012). Furthermore, the specific growth rate of koi carp, Cyprinus carpio significantly improved and decrease FCR even when 180 mg kg -1 marigold meal included as the dietary carotenoid source Swian, Ratnamanjari, Meshram, Mishra, & Shivananda (2014).…”
