“…For aquaculture to be sustained, an alternate feedstock to FM is required (Olukayode and Emmanuel, 2012). We must use locally available feedstuff, especially agricultural by-products, to reduce the cost of feeds for fish aquaculture (Fagbenro, 1999).…”

The farming of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) has conquered the significant popularity in tropical and subtropical regions, primarily due to its remarkable faster growth rate. The growth performance of the species makes it an attractive choice for many fish farmers. Additionally, Tilapia exhibits a commendable resilience to disease, further enhancing its appeal as a farming option. Furthermore, the low trophic feeding levels of Tilapia contribute to its desirability, making it an efficient and sustainable choice for nutrition-conscious individuals. Due to the increasing prevalence of aquaculture production, there has been a significant surge in the demand for fishmeal. This particular protein source has relished the widespread popularity for many years and its demand has now more than doubled. The current growth rate of the aquaculture industry is outpacing the available fishmeal supplies, which are insufficient to meet the demand. According to scientific studies, it has been found that fishmeal can be effectively replaced with alternative sources without compromising the overall performance of the fish. This article presents a compelling case for the practicality of replacing fishmeal with alternative protein sources in the diet of Tilapia. These alternatives include terrestrial animal by-products, oilseed plants, single-cell proteins, and protein-rich plant derivatives. In order to mitigate the environmental impact of the fishmeal industry, it is crucial to implement measures that can effectively address this concern. Moreover, it is crucial to highlight the significance of these sources from a nutritional perspective. The blood meal, meat and bone meal are highly beneficial options for incorporating essential amino acids and protein into the diet of Tilapia. These alternatives offer a rich source of nutrients that can effectively replace fishmeal. The minerals instead of amino acids could improve plant protein performance. Due to inconsistent findings, aquatic plants and single-cell proteins in Tilapia meals should be carefully considered. Fishmeal replacers need biological and economic analyses. Long-term evaluations should be done in practical culture systems rather than labs. In conclusion, it is imperative for Tilapia producers to contemplate the utilization of alternative dietary sources, as extensive research has demonstrated the scientific feasibility of substituting the fishmeal in the diet of Tilapia.

“…Whole SBM contains CP level comparable to CP levels of standard fish feeds (40 -45% CP) in Kenya [6]. However, despite the shortage of R. argentea [8,10], which is a major source of proteins in many commercial feeds, the potential utility of SBM in raising quality and large numbers of O. niloticus fingerlings has not been fully investigated. Thus, there is need to evaluate the effect of whole SBM on growth performance and survival of O. niloticus fingerlings.…”

An eight-week experimental study was undertaken to determine the effect of whole soya bean meal (SBM) with reference to common fish feed ingredients, consisting of Omena (Rastineobola argentea) meal (RAM), Freshwater shrimp (Caridina niloticus) meal (CNM) and commercial fish meal (CFM, control diet) on water quality, growth performance and survival of O. niloticus fingerlings. Fifty fry weighing 0.4 + 0.01 g were randomly stocked in triplicate glass aquaria tanks (67.5 cm by 34.4 cm by 32.0 cm) and fed on whole RAM, SBM, CNM or CFM. Feeding was performed twice daily at 3% of fry wet body weights. Water quality parameters were monitored daily. Growth parameters and survivals of all fry per tank were assessed weekly. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) in water quality parameters between the experimental groups and were within acceptable limits. No significant difference (p>0.05) was observed in the growth performance of fingerlings fed on SBM and any of the other diets. However, fingerlings fed on SBM exhibited considerably higher growth performance than those fed on RAM or CNM. Although there was no significant difference (p>0.05) in the survival of fingerlings fed on SBM and RAM, survival of fingerlings fed on SBM was significantly higher (p<0.05) than those fed on CNM. Whole SBM is not only considerably better than RAM and CNM but is also comparable to CFM in terms of its effects on water quality, growth performance and survival; hence, could be a replacement for expensive and low-quality commercial feeds in raising O. niloticus fingerlings.
