Effect of different levels of phosphorus on growth and mineralization in African giant catfish Heterobranchus bidorsalis (Geoffrey Saint Hillarie, 1809

Abstract: Eleven diets (D1-D11), designated as treatments (T1-T11), supplemented with different levels of inorganic phosphorus (P) (Ca 2 PO4) were fed to Heterobranchus bidorsalis (10.8 ±0.02 g) to determine the optimum P requirement. D1 -D11 contained total P of 10. 2, 10.4, 11.0, 11.9, 12.3, 12.6, 13.4, 13.9, 14.2 14.7 and 15.4 g kg -1 respectively. After 84 days of feeding trial, there was increase in fish growth up to T5 with 12.3g P kg -1 diet, followed by consistent decline in growth towards T11 with the high… Show more

“…Additionally, diet also has an influence on the chemical composition of fish, e.g. with mineral concentrations over the whole of the fish's body highly correlated with phosphorus level in the diet (Nwanna et al 2008(Nwanna et al , 2010. In our study, phosphorus concentration in the fish's body was correlated with an increase in phosphorus in the diet, though high variability between samples meant that the correlations were not significant.…”

“…According to Nwanna et al (2009) Calcium and Phosphorus make up 70% of the total mineral elements in the body and are essential for the formation of bone, energy transfer through adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and an essential component of buffer systems in the blood. McDowell (1992) noted that Phosphorus is involved in the control of appetite, weight and feed efficiency while Waldroup, (1999) asserted that inadequate supply of Phosphorus may lead to severe consequences in terms of reduced performance, excessive mortality, and reduction in carcass quality.…”

“…Moreover, diets with high P content negatively affect Mg absorption (Schamber et al 2014). This negative effect may be related to the physiological saturation of the Ca and P transporter in the brush border membrane, leading to an excess of these minerals in the form of insoluble complexes in the digestive tract lumen, thereby reducing Mg absorption (Nwanna et al 2009, Araújo et al 2018). In the present study, Mg absorption ranged from 44.87 to 75.50%.…”
