“…According to Safrina et al (2015), Tubifex, which has a protein content of up to 64%, is one of the alternatives for the development of the larval stage of farmed fish. According to Mandal et al, (2016), Tubifex is frequently used in hatcheries for a number of catfish, cork, and ornamental fish varieties. For their bodies to properly develop and grow, young fish need to consume a lot of protein.…”

“…Agricultural waste is frequently wasted and dumped in landfills where it rots. According to several studies (Alam et al, 2021;Khaerunnisa et al, 2021;Mandal et al, 2016;Petrova-Tacheva, Ivanov, & Atanasov, 2020;Safrina et al, 2015;Umidayati et al, 2020), organic waste is rich in organic materials that can be useful after fermentation. Tubifex can be created using organic waste.…”

“…Agriculture waste can be used as a source of energy for growing Tubifex. According to (Mandal et al, 2016), cow dung, milk waste, and rice milling waste can all be used as food sources to cultivate Tubifex. It was further stated that it appeared that products high in nutrients and containing carbohydrate and protein content from agricultural waste, such as waste from the processing of rice and milk, could effectively raise the total amount of protein and fat in Tubifex.Complex carbohydrates and vegetable proteins are abundant in corn cobs, which are frequently discarded.…”

The food industry with the fastest rate of growth in more than 50 years is the fisheries sector. The sector of aquaculture and capture has grown to be very promising. In order to support the success of this business, the aquaculture industry in freshwater and marine environments is currently progressing. In the larval stage, choosing fish feed that is of high quality is crucial. The primary food source for fish larvae to support the growth and development of farmed fish is natural feed with a high protein content. Numerous varieties of farmed fish and ornamental fish have been fed Tubifex tubifex, a natural silkworm food. Protein and fat content in this polichaeta class worms are respectively 66% and 12%. When farmed fish are growing and developing, the high protein content of these worms may serve as their primary source of protein. Several initiatives are currently being made to enhance worm protein quality by consuming more food that contains macro-and micronutrients. Agricultural waste that has fermented or decomposed, which is typically regarded as waste, has nutritional value that can be combined with mud or sand to keep worms for a while. The nurture of fish larvae or fry may one day be possible using silkworms.

“…Mollah et al (1) found higher yield of tubifex worms by using a combination of 35% MOC, 20% WB, 25% CD and 20% sand with worms inoculum at the rate of 1.25 mg cm -2 . Begum et al (18) have demonstrated that 70% cow dung and 30% field soil is the suitable food medium for optimal growth of tubifex worms while Mandal et al (19) used rice mill sludge, dairy sludge and raw cattle dung as culture media for tubifex. Hasan et al (8) observed that the blood wetted medium produced the highest yield (worms inoculum 50 mg cm -2 ) in 40% MOC, 30% SBM and 30% mud combination where WB was absent.…”

While the first experiment evaluated the effect of media ingredient mustardoil cake wetted in cattle blood, rice gruel and subsurface clean water, the secondexperiment focused on the effects of two doses of media levels 75 and 100 mgcm-2 and two levels of inoculums 75 and 100 mg cm-2, on the yield of tubifexworms. Wet medium did not have significant effect on the yield of tubifexworms harvested after 70-day culture duration. Applying 75 mg cm-2 mustard oilcake as media ingredient resulted in the significantly higher (p < 0.05) yield thanthat of 100 mg cm-2. On the contrary, worms’ inoculum at the rate of 100 mg cm-2 gave significantly higher yield than did the 75 mg cm-2 inoculum. The results ofthis study have demonstrated that mustard oil can be used as the only culturemedia ingredient and the combination of 75 mg cm-2 media ingredient and 100mg cm-2 worm’s inoculum is the best combination at pilot scale level culture oftubifex.

“…Hossain et al (2012) had similar findings as reported by Mariom and Mollah (2012). Mandal et al (2016) suggest that rice mill sludge, dairy sludge and raw cattle dung can also be used as culture media in producing tubifex worms. However, all of these studies were done at on-station/on-farm.…”

The effects of three wetting media (cattle blood, rice gruel and subsurface clean water) of the culture media ingredients (a mixture of mustard oil cake, soybean meal and mud) on the yield and amino acid composition of tubificid worms cultured on a pilot scale in a fish farm for 42 days were evaluated. The worm yields were in the order: cattle blood wetted media (683.68 ± 3.86 mg/cm 2 ), rice gruel (615.63 ± 3.66 mg/cm 2 ), water (584. 38 ± 1.41 mg/cm 2 ). Lysine, arginine and leucine were the most prevalent of the eight essential amino acids in worms cultured in the media wetted in cattle blood medium. The results suggested that a mixture of 40% mustard oil cake, 30% soybean meal and 30% mud can be used for the commercial culture of tubificid worms as live fish food. The tubificid worms showed high level of amino acids suitable for fish that require a high content of dietary amino acids.
