Title: Effects of protein levels on growth of Monosex Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus, 1758) fry in nursery ponds of Bangladesh
Abstract: An experiment was conducted for a period of 60 days to evaluate the effect of protein levels on growth performance, survivability and water quality parameters of monosex tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fry. The experiment was conducted under three treatments of dietary protein levels viz. T1: 22% protein level; T2: 24% protein level and T3; 26% protein level with three replication each. Stocking density (249964 fish fry/ha) and initial weight 0.13±00g of fish was same in all treatments. Water quality parameter such as water temperature, dissolved oxygen, transparency, pH, alkalinity measured fortnightly. Mean value of water quality parameters showed no significant differences (P>0.05) among the treatments. Result showed that fry growth was significantly affected by protein level. The highest mean final weight gain was 26.79±1024g in T3 and lowest mean weight gain was 16.23±0.21g in T1. SGR (%, bwd-1)and FCR values showed significantly (P<0.05) different among the treatments. Feed with 30% protein level resulted in the highest production (P<0.05) in the T3 treatments.
Key Words: Oreochromis niloticus, Survivability, Monosex and Water qualit
