Abstract
Fingerlings of Heterobranchus longifilis of mean body weight of
26.30+0.12g were fed with different crude protein diets of 30%, 35%, 40% and
45% respectively in hapa nets and randomly allocated into four different
treatments with two replicates each with 25 fingerlings per unit. The fish
fingerlings were fed at 5% body weight for 56 days. At the end of the feeding
trial, growth performance and nutrient utilization were evaluated. The results
revealed that fish fed with 40% CP diets had the highest Mean Weight Gain (MWG)
of 30.89g, Specific Growth Rate (SGR) of 1.04%/day, and Food Conversion Ratio
(FCR) of 3.75. The fingerlings fed with the 30% CP diets gave the least growth
performance. It could be concluded from this study that 40% CP diet is optimal
for growth of Heterobranchus longifilis fingerlings.
