“…According to Anguas-Vélez et al (2000) that protein consumption is relatively insignificant and independent of the dietary protein level. As weight gain by fish is connected to protein deposition (Ishtiaq and Naeem 2019). This justifies the present results, as PER is low with increasing protein levels.…”

A feeding trial for 56 days was conducted to investigate the optimum dietary protein and stocking density that could give the maximum growth performance of Pangasius catfish, Pangasius hypophthalmus. Twenty-seven tanks (150 Liter) were used for random distribution of Pangasius fingerlings (5.5±0.2 g) at three stocking densities; 10, 15, and 20 fish/tank. Fish of each density fed either formulated diet of 30, 35, and 40% crude protein (CP). Pangas fingerlings were fed one of the tested diets up to apparent satiety twice a day at 09:00 and 14:00 h. The recorded fluctuation of water parameters was within the normal range such as 27-29°C water temperature, 5.6-6.8mg/l dissolved oxygen, 7.3-7.7pH, and 0.7-1.40 mg/l total ammonia. Obtained data showed that the final body weight, weight gain, weight gain %, specific growth rate (SGR) were significantly affected by protein level and conversely affected by stocking density. The best performance and survival recorded at diet containing 35and 40% protein at the lowest stocking density, while the poorest growth was retrieved with 30%protein at high density (20 fish/tank). Feed utilization parameters were in the same line with the protein level and stocking density effect. The best feed conversion ratio FCR, 1.57±0.06 and 1.53±0.03 was gained with 35% and 40%protein respectively at10 stocking density. Correspondingly, the highest values of PER and PPV were obtained at low density with 35 and 40% CP. No significant differences were recorded in lipid and ash contents in the fish body fed diets of different protein levels at varied stocking densities. Nevertheless, moisture

“…Results of the present study revealed an improving trend in FCR values with increasing dietary protein levels from 15% to 25% proteins diets and this increasing trend is similar to the findings of many researchers (Ahmed and Maqbool, 2017;Ishtiaq and Naeem, 2019;Ahmad and Ahmad, 2020). However, no statistically significant difference (P>0.05) was observed in FCR values of the three (T1, T2, T3) treatment groups and this observation is similar to the findings of Bharadwaj et al (2002) and Khan et al (2013).…”

F or successful fish farming, proper feed formulation is required. Aquaculture business gains profits, when fish feed provide maximum growth. Growth is most determining factor for fish cultivation success (Muhammadar et al., 2021). Combating disease, enhancing growth rates, producing efficient feed and finally a product having nutritional and safety standards are predictive gears to determine Aquaculture success. Nonetheless, one of the big obstacles is the expense of fish feed ingredients, which is about 80% of the production budget in the flourishing fish industry (Cheikyula et al., 2020). Protein is considered most expensive ingredient in feed formulation. If proteins content increase in fish feed than the optimum required level, they can results in increased energy cost,also increased excretion of nitrogenous material and retarded growth (Monentcham et al., 2009;Abdel-Tawwab et al., 2010). Being an overpriced Abstract | This study was conducted to analyze the impact of varying levels of plant based protein diets (15%, 20%, and 25% crude protein) prepared from cheaper plant proteins, to keep minimum use of fish meal, on growth performance, survival and production of hybrid fry (Labeo rohita♀ x Catla catla ♂). The hybrid fry of mean 1.05±0.08 g body weight and 4.36±0.40 cm mean length were acclimatized and transferred to 8 X 6 X 3 ft. hapas. Fry were fed with fish meal at the rate of 10 % of body weight during acclimatization period and experimental feed at the rate of 5 % of body weight up to the end of the 90 days experiment in duplicate at the fish farms facility. The growth performance of test fishes was observed at monthly interval and accordingly the fish feed was readjusted. During the study period, water quality parameters were maintained within safe limits for fish growth. Ten fish specimens from each treatment were randomly collected at the end of trial for growth parameters analysis. Different growth parameters, such as mean weight gain, mean length gain, specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio, feed conversion ratio and production were determined. Results revealed maximum gains in T3 (25%) feed group as compared to T1 (15%) and T2 (20%) feed groups. The lowest food conversion ratio (FCR) was also noted in the T3 (25%) group showing best feed composition of T3 (25%) feed by the tested fish fry. ANOVA analysis showed highly significant (P<0.001) difference in the final weight, final length and production among three treatment groups (T1, T2, and T3), while no difference (P>0.05) was observed in SGR, FCR and PER values of the three treatment groups. Hence, a protein diet containing 25% dietary protein is not only cost-efficient, economical but also nutritional and wholesome for a fish's health condition.

“…However, Kim et al [51] have reported no significant effect of dietary protein levels of 20%, 30% and 40% on crude protein of the Juvenile Catfish, Silurusasotus. On the other hand, Ishtiaq and Naeem [44] have observed that dietary crude protein levels definitely affect the water and protein contents of Catla catla. Hence, the results indicated that farmer can achieve not only higher growth and low FCR but can attain higher protein and lipid contents in the C. batrachus by feeding the fish with 40% crude protein, rather higher crude protein (45%CP) in diet.…”

Clarias batrachus is a commercially important food fish. In the present study, effect of varying dietary protein levels was evaluated on the survival, growth parameters and proximate composition of C. batrachus. Diets comprising 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, and 50% crude protein (CP) were supplied to fish in T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6, respectively, at the rate of 5% of fish body weight for the entire 90 days, twice daily. Size of each stocked C. batrachus was recorded after 15 days. Results revealed 100% survival rate of C. batrachus in all treatments. Significantly highest (P<0.001) mean value of weight gain (g/fish), percent weight gain, daily growth rate, specific growth rate and protein efficiency ratio (PER) in C. batrachus were recorded, reared in T4 by feeding 40% CP in diet. The best FCR value (1.90±0.02) for C. batrachus was obtained in T4 by feeding 40%CP in diet. Mean value of water, ash, fat and protein contents (wet mass) were ranged 74.10–79.23%, 3.12–4.68%, 3.90–4.43% and 13.09–16.79% for C. batrachus in the studied treatment groups. Water content (%) was found significantly (P<0.05) higher in the body of C. batrachus for T1, T2, T3 and T6 than for T4 and T5. Ash was found significantly (P<0.05) higher in the fish reared in T4 and T5. Fat content in the wet body mass of C. batrachus was found significantly higher in T4 and T1. While, significant higher (P<0.05) values of mean protein content was noted in C. batrachus reared in T4 and T5. Body composition of C. batrachus was also categorically affected by body size, however, condition factor showed non-significant correlation in most of the relationships in the present study. Overall, results indicated that feeding appropriate diet (containing 40% CP) to the fish resulted good growth performance, lower FCR and higher protein content in the fish. Present study provides valuable knowledge of optimal dietary protein level in C. batrachus which will help in commercial success of aquaculture.
