“…These results were in agreement with those obtained by Dawah et al (2002) who found that the addition of algae in fish diets improved growth performance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Furthermore, our results are in agreement with that obtained by Dernekbasi et al, (2010) who evaluated the use of Spirulina in guppy diet and they found that increasing level of Spirulina in diet provided better growth comparing to the other commercial feeds. Nandeesha et al (1998) reported that body weight gain of Nile tilapia (O. niloticus) increased linearly with increasing the level of algae in fish diet.…”

The present study was designed to evaluate the use of Spirulina, Arthrospir platensis as a protein source for hybrid red tilapia fries (Oreochromis niloticus x Oreochromis mossambicus) with average weights of 206±11 mg. Spirulina was incorporated into diets at 0, 50, 75, and 100% of the fishmeal-based diet. The test diets were fed to the fish at 12% body weight three times a day for consecutive 65 days at 24±2°C. The final weight gain, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and survival rate of fish were evaluated. The present study suggests that up to 75% of Spirulina can be substituted for fishmeal in a fishmeal-based diet for hybrid red tilapia with increased feed conversion ratio and protein productive value in carcass proximate composition. Also higher immunity can be observed than other treatments, where white blood cells were 4.08 x10 3 mm. In conclusion, the results of this study indicate the possibility of using Arthrospira platensis as commercial nutrient source for large scale culture of fish in general and tilapia in particular.

“…Similar to this finding, applying spirulina supplementation, Peiretti and Meineri (2008), Heidarpour et al (2011) and Dernekbasi et al (2010) observed no significant differences for final weight and weight gain. Heidarpour et al (2011) studied with 3 levels of S. platensis (2, 6 and 25 g) in Holstein calves and they reported that there were no significant differences in weight gain, daily feed intake and feed conversion ratio.…”

The effect of Emblica officianalis and Spirulina platensis was studied in New Zealand White rabbits. Weaned rabbits of both sex were allocated to three different feeding treatments via T 1 (Control), T 2 (supplemented with 2% Emblica officianalis) and T 3 (supplemented with 5% Sprulina platensis) in addition to ad lib. berseem fodder. The concentrate diets formulated were iso-nitrogenous and iso-caloric. The final body weight, weight gain and average daily weight gain of rabbits in all the groups followed the same trend. While, T 1 and T 2 were found to have better FCR than T 3 supplemented feeding treatments, there were no significant changes in the serum biochemical indices, only the serum globulin value was significantly (P<0.05) lower (2.41 vs. 3.55, 3.10 g/dl) and albumin value was found significantly higher (4.52 vs. 3.27, 3.56 g/dl) in the groups fed spirulina supplemented diets as compared to groups fed with non supplemented diets. Amla supplementation had no effect on the serum biochemistry indices.

“…The comparative higher growth rate reported for T2 in the present study was in conformity with the Daniel and Kumuthakalavalli () and Okada, Liao, Mori, Yamaguchi, and Watanbe (), where a higher growth rate was found in fish consuming feed containing spirulina than in fish with no spirulina. Moreover, increasing amount of spirulina content in the feed of guppy also showed better growth as compared to other commercial feeds (Dernekbasi, Una, Karayuce, & Ara, ). Likewise, James, Sampath, Thangarathinam, and Vasudevan () reported that specific growth rate (SGR), feed intake and mean body weight increased with increasing level of spirulina in red sword tail.…”

The present Present experiment was conducted for 75 days in triplicates groups in 18 aquaria of 50 L each to study the effect of Wolffia arrhiza and Spirulina platensis on growth and pigmentation of Botia dario. Six isonitrogenous diets were prepared with 350 g/kg crude protein (CP) level. Diet 1 (T1) was prepared without fortification of spirulina and wolffia. T2 diet was prepared with spirulina as supplement of carotenoids. Similarly, T3, T4, T5 and T6 diets were prepared by substituting 25, 50, 75 and 100 g/kg of CP from spirulina with wolffia, respectively. Significant differences (p < .05) in final mean weight, mean weight gain, body weight gain and specific growth rate were observed. 100 percent survivability was recorded in T4 and T5. Final carotenoids content (μg/g) in skin (166.39 ± 2.71) and muscle (10.67 ± 0.32) was recorded highest in T5 and in whole fish in T6 (13.03 ± 0.95 μg/g). Redness, yellowness and whiteness found to have no significant differences (p > .05). Thus, it can be concluded that diet containing 100 g/kg spirulina can be effective for better growth while diet containing 25 g/kg spirulina and 150 g/kg wolffia can be effective for higher survival and pigmentation in Botia dario.
