A feeding trial was conducted in aquaria with juvenile hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus×Oreochromis aureus) to evaluate the use of different protein sources combination distillers dried grains solubles (DDGS). Twelve 110-L glass were stocked 28 (2.7±0.5-g) per aquarium. Three replicate randomly assigned each four dietary treatments. Diets isonitrogenous and isocaloric. The control diet contained 12% fish meal 41% soybean as primary (Diet 1). Each experimental 30% DDGS by weight, 8% 34%...
In aquaponic systems, adding supplemental nutrients to enhance plant production is common. Frass, which the manure of insects, can be used fish and production, but no study has yet examined potential both using a dietary approach in an system. this 8-week study, channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) juveniles were fed diets with, or without, 10% black solider fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae (BSFL) frass Each system had two different bed types; floating raft media. consisted three stevia...
Abstract With the increasing emphasis to replace fish meal (FM) with less expensive protein sources in aquaculture diets without reducing weight gains, an 8‐wk feeding trial was conducted juvenile (15 g) sunshine bass Morone chrysops × M. saxatilis ) evaluate growth and body composition when fed different levels of FM (0, 7.5, 15, 30%). Six practical floating were formulated contain 40% similar energy levels, various percentages FM, meat‐and‐bone (MBM), soybean (SBM), poultry by‐product...
Abstract Juvenile channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) were stocked in twelve 1.25-m3 floating cages at densities of 320 fish/m3 and fed to satiety twice daily for 110 d with one four diets. Each diet contained a certain percentage (0, 10, 20, or 30%) distillers' grains solubles (DGS), which partially replaced soybean meal corn. Individual weights fish, survival, food conversion (FC, weight feed given!weight gain by fish), body composition (percentage moisture, protein, fat, ash) waste...
Abstract Excessive carbohydrates (CHO) in diets for largemouth bass (LMB), Micropterus salmoides , are suspected of accumulating glycogen hepatocytes, which may result liver dysfunction. This study evaluated the effect graded levels dietary CHO on growth, survival, and histology LMB. One hundred feed‐trained advanced fingerling LMB (128.5 ± 21.5 g) were stocked into each nine 3400 ‐ L polyethylene tanks. Tanks randomly assigned one three experimental containing different (13, 19, or 25%...
A 12-week feeding trial was conducted in aquaria with juvenile (8.9 g) blue catfish, Ictalurus furcatus (Lesueur), to examine effects of totally replacing fish meal a high (65%) percentage soy bean (SBM) prepared diets. Five isonitrogenous (35% protein) and isocaloric (10.5 kJ digestible energy g−1 diet) diets were formulated. Diet 1 similar high-quality commercial channel catfish diet, containing 15% 42% SBM. Diets 2-5 contained 0% 70% SBM various amounts (0.0%. 0.3%, 0.6% 0.9%)...
Abstract Limited information is available on digestibility of nutrients in various practical ingredients used diets for commercially important finfish species, such as hybrid striped bass. This especially needed sunshine bass, Morone chrysops × M. saxatilis , to improve least‐cost diet formulations and allow effective substitution feedstuffs. A study was conducted with large (867 g) bass determine the apparent coefficients (ADCs) moisture, protein, lipid, organic matter (OM) a variety...
