“…This has also been the case in other studies, indicating that tilapia can efficiently use that feedstuff as a protein source. Martínez‐Palacios et al (1988) also reported high APD when using C. ensiformis meal as a substitute for fish meal in tilapia diets; the same result was obtained by Olvera, Martínez, Galván and Chavez (1988) when Sesbania grandiflora seed meal was included in tilapia diets, but only at the 10% replacement level. These results can be explained by the high capacity of tilapia to digest protein from plant dietary sources even when the digestibility for the organic matter was low, as was the case in this study.…”

The rapid growth of tilapia culture has stimulated the expansion of tilapia feed production and a search for novel protein sources to replace fish meal. Vegetable or plant sources are promising alternatives and legumes are both naturally abundant and high in protein content. A study was carried out to evaluate the effects of replacing the protein from fish meal with peanut (Arachis hypogaea) leaf meal (PLM) in diets for male tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus, initial body weight 75.3 g). Four isonitrogenous (35% CP) and isocaloric (18.834 kJ g−1) diets were prepared to include 0% (CON), 10% (PLM10), 20% (PLM20) and 30% (PLM30) of PLM protein. Average fish weights at the end of the 126‐day experiment were not statistically different among the fish fed CON, PLM10 and PLM20 diets. The PLM30 diet produced the poorest growth performance. Organic matter and protein contents of fish were similar in the CON, PLM10 and PLM20 diets. Carcass chemical composition showed a decrease in body fat content as PLM replacement levels increased. The high survival ratio in all dietary groups (>97%) suggests that PLM can be used in O. niloticus feeds for long periods without affecting fish growth performance or health.

“…In terms of feed utilization, protein sparing and growth stimulation, omnivorous species do show improved growth if fed a low-starch diet compared with a diet altogether devoid of starch (Hemre et al, 2002). However, these findings are different from that of Olvera et al (1998) who observed reduced growth in tilapia fry fed diets containing 9 to 33% Sesbania grandiflora meal. However, in this study very small-sized tilapia fry (0.32 g) were used.…”

An 80-day feeding trial was conducted as two experiments to evaluate the effects of replacement of fish meal (FM) and soyabean meal (SBM) protein with hazelnut meal (HM) protein in the diets of mirror carp (Cyprinus carpio) fingerlings. Growth parameters and body composition were measured in fingerlings cultured under laboratory conditions in a recirculation system aquarium at 26 ± 0.3 °C. In Experiment I four isonitrogenous, isoenergetic diets were formulated by replacing 0, 25, 35 and 45% of protein from FM by HM. Fingerlings receiving the diets in which 0, 25 and 35% of the FM protein were replaced, had similar body weights, specific growth ratios (SGR), protein efficiency ratios (PER) and feed conversion ratios (FCR). In Experiment II four isonitrogenous, isoenergetic diets were formulated by replacing 0, 20, 40 and 60% of protein in SBM with HM. Fingerlings receiving the diets where 0, 20 and 40% of the SBM protein were replaced, had similar body weights, SGR, PER and FCR. However, fingerlings consuming the highest dietary inclusion level of HM (60% replacement) had significantly lower responses for all the above parameters than fingerlings receiving the other diets. The fat content of fingerlings fed diet FM 3 where 45 % of FM protein was replaced by HM protein, was significantly lower than those on the other diets. It was concluded that HM could replace up to 35% of the protein in FM and 40% of protein supplied by SBM in fingerling carp diets without adverse effects on growth, FCR, PER, FI, BWG and body composition.

“…Similarly, Hossain and Jauncey (1989) observed poor growth response in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) fed diets containing 0.57 and 1.14% tannins. In addition, high levels of tannins in feed have been shown to have adverse effect on herbivorous and omnivorous fish (Al-Owafeir 1999;Becker and Makkar 1999;Olvera et al 1988). The extents of these growth inhibitory effects varied in different fish species studied and also plant material used in the fish feed formulation.…”

Aquatic weeds are one of the major unconventional feed ingredients tested for aquafeed formulation. Tannin content in the water lettuce, Pistia, has been quantified (26.67 mg g(-1); dry weight) and graded levels of which (12.5-200 μg) have been incorporated in the reaction mixtures to evaluate any change in the in vitro activity of the principal digestive enzymes from the three Indian major carps (IMC), namely rohu (Labeo rohita), catla (Catla catla) and mrigala (Cirrhinus mrigala). Result of the experiment revealed that the Pistia tannin (PT) significantly inhibit/lower the activities of the digestive enzymes from three IMCs in a dose-dependent manner, even at very low concentration. Significant variation in the reduction of the enzyme activities was noticed between the three fish species, as well as between the three enzymes studied. Among the three species studied, digestive enzymes from L. rohita were found to be the most sensitive to the PT, whereas enzymes from C. catla were found to be comparatively least affected. On the other hand, protease and lipase activities were comparatively more affected than the amylase activity. The results of the study suggest that more stress should be given on the elimination of tannin while incorporating feed ingredients of plant origin in fish diets.
