Dietary Protein Requirement of Giant Snakehead, Channa marulius (Ham., 1822) Fry and Impact on Growth Indices

Six semi-purified diets (energy 17.97–18.47 kJ g −1 ) containing protein levels of 300 g kg −1 (diet-A), 360 g kg −1 (diet-B), 420 g kg −1 (diet-C), 480 g kg −1 (diet-D), 540 g kg −1 (diet-E) and 600 g kg −1 (diet-F) were estimated for the protein requirement of Channa marulius fry (length 4.11 ± 0....

Description
Summary:Six semi-purified diets (energy 17.97–18.47 kJ g −1 ) containing protein levels of 300 g kg −1 (diet-A), 360 g kg −1 (diet-B), 420 g kg −1 (diet-C), 480 g kg −1 (diet-D), 540 g kg −1 (diet-E) and 600 g kg −1 (diet-F) were estimated for the protein requirement of Channa marulius fry (length 4.11 ± 0.59 cm) in a completely randomized experiment design in triplicate set. The fry were reared in 18 FRP tanks at a stocking density of 40 fry m 3 and fed @ 8–5 % bw. The diets A, B, C and D showed significantly ( p
