Abstract
Fresh water aquaculture in India is mainly
carp-based and accounts for a considerable proportion of total aquaculture
production. Feeding constitutes a major factor in fish culture since the fish
obtain the maximum nutritional requirements through the food they consume.
Protein forms one of the main components of fish feed and hence formulation of
feeds that contain high amount of protein using cost effective natural
ingredients is very essential to achieve efficient fish production. Feeding
experiments were conducted to determine protein requirement of fingerlings of
Cyprinus carpio using fish meal and groundnut oil cake as protein source. The
effects of dietary protein levels [35%,40% and 45%] on growth parameters of
Cyprinus carpio were studied up to 30 days. Growth parameters were increased
gradually from 10 days to 30 days and from 35% to 45% protein fed diet
containing different levels of crude protein (35%,40% and 45%).
