Growth Performance, Fillet Yield and Composition of Clarias gariepinus Fed Diets Containing Microalgae Protein Sources Replacing Fishmeal
Keywords:
Spirulina, Chlorella, fillet yield, Clarias gariepinus, waste yieldAbstract
Growth performance, fillet yield and composition by Clarias gariepinus fed diets containing
microalgae protein sources were investigated in an 84-day feeding trial. Spirulina and Chlorella,
was used to replace fishmeal at 50 and 75% respectively producing four test diets. Control diet was without microalgae protein sources. Each dietary treatment was allotted to triplicates groups of fish in a completely randomized design. The results revealed that superior growth was recorded among the microalga fed groups when compared with control diets. Although fish fed CL75% had the highest value of weight gain which was significantly different (p<0.05) from the weight gain by other fish groups, the SP fed groups had higher values of protein retention and protein productive value than the CL fed groups. Significantly higher level of fillet proteins and reduced level of fillet lipid were observed among the fish fed microalgae protein sources than the fish fed control. Comparatively, SP fed groups had higher fillet protein and lipid than CL fed groups,
while CL75% group had significantly (p<0.05) highest fillet yield than other fish groups
