“…In this study, the higher lipid level more than catfish lipid requirement and the high values of gross energy present in the diets formulated at 35 % proteins was an advantage for good growth of larvae. Artemia salina and commercial high proteins (53.2-54%) diets [8]. These growth rates suggest that the tested diets BB 50 , BB 75 , and BB 100 were suitable for rearing Clarias gariepinus catfish larvae.…”

Clarias gariepinus culture remains undeveloped in Côte d'Ivoire due to the lack of locally quality feed, fingerlings, and the high cost of imported feed Artemia salina. Because of the importance of feed and feeding strategy in fish fingerling production, beef brain meal was investigated as alternative compounded feed. Feeding trial was completed with five isonitrogenous diets at 35% crude protein formulated by substituting Artemia salina for beef brain (BB) meal on the basis of crude protein at 0% (Control diet), 25% (BB25), 50% (BB50), 75% (BB75) and 100% (BB100) level. Catfish, Clarias gariepinus larvae with an average weight of 0.006 ± 0.001 g were fed with experiment diets in three replicate groups, three times a day (07:00, 12:00 and 17:00 hours) ad libitum 49 days. At the end of rearing period, highest values of growth parameters were recorded from larvae fed with BB100, BB75, and BB50. Beef brain meal increased the dietary total fat when the feed conversion ratio decreased. Fish fed diets BB25 and BB50 recorded the highest values of survival rate. Studies on the best feeding rates and water quality monitoring should be carried out to improve survival of Clarias gariepinus larvae fed with high level of beef brain meal in diet.

“…Bairagi et al (2002) isolated distinct microbial source of digestive enzymes amylase, lipase and protease from the gastrointestinal tract of C. batrachus that may contribute towards better feed formulations. Yakubu et al (2016) assessed the effects of commercial probiotic (Biogut) on C. gariepinus and observed improved growth and survival rate of the fry. Jahan et al (2016) noticed better growth performance, SGR and proximate carcass compositions of C. batrachus fingerlings fed with probiotic-supplement diet compared to the control diet.…”

Clarias batrachus (Linn.) is widely recognized in Indian sub-continent for its nutritional and economic significance. At present, it remains at a merely vulnerable state. Pathogenic infections, diminution of natural habitats and introduction of allied exotic fishes are the causes of productivity constraint, particularly in Southern Asia. Conversely, African cat fish Clarias gariepinus has been significantly identified as a potential threat to biodiversity, despite being its large scale cultivation across the world. Thus emphasis on indigenous C. batrachus farming is becoming inevitable. Currently, screening of autochthonous probiotic organisms for the cultivation of C. batrachus in semi-intensive manner is getting importance. At the same time, molecular omics-based technologies are also gaining considerable attention to identify potential probiotic markers. This review provides an overall concept of probiotics, its application and future perspectives in relation to the cultivation of C. batrachus.

“…The larvae were distributed in triplicates by type of hormone in six closed-loop trays of 0.4 m3 at the rate of 0.04 larvae / l. water was renewed at 50% / 24 h in this system and the recirculation flow rate was 13.4 ml / s. Animals' were fed 6 times daily (3h am, 7h am, 11h am, 3h pm, 7h pm, and 11 pm) according to their average weight, using imported feeds whose size, brand, origin, manufacturer, rationing and protein rates are shown in Table 1 [15] . Every morning at 6 am to extract the organic waste, the bins were siphoned off using a plastic pipe 1 cm in diameter (bought on the local market).…”

In order to compare effects of the of hormone type (Ovaprim and pituitary extracts) on survival and growth performances of African catfish Clarias gariepinus in recycled water; this study was conducted from April to August 2016, in the South Region Cameroon. The main results are as follows: The survival rate was higher in fish from females treated with pituitary extracts regardless of stage of development, without significant differences (P> 0.05) between treatments. The fish treated with Ovaprim, expressed higher mass and linear growth performances than those treated with pituitary extracts, but not significantly (P> 0.05) regardless the considered stage of development. The relative growth rate (TCR) showed that fish grow faster at the fry stage than at the juvenile stage for both hormone types. Growth was negative Allometric type and K factor was ˂ 1 during breeding. It was concluded that the use of the synthetic hormone is not essential for optimum production of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings.
