Potential of feed pea (Pisum sativum) meal as a protein source in practical diets for milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal)

Effect of partially replacing fish meal with honey locust seed (Gleditsia triacanthos) on growth, feed utilisation and body composition of mirror carp,Cyprinus carpio, fingerlings

“…Buyukcapar and Kamalak (2006) showed that fish fed diets containing 10% of raw and 10%, 20% and 30% heated Vicia peregrina seed had a growth performance similar to those of the control diet while fish fed diets containing !10% raw Vicia peregrine seed had significantly lower growth performance than the control diet. This observation is also consistent with the findings of Borlongan et al (2003) and Hossain et al (2002).…”

PepT1 mRNA expression levels in sea bream (Sparus aurata) fed different plant protein sources

“…Although field peas ( Pisum sativum ) have been found to be a promising protein source for several species, such as Atlantic salmon (Aslaksen et al 2007; Øverland et al 2009), rainbow trout (Thiessen et al 2003), sea bass (Gouveia & Davies 1998), and sea bream (Sánchez-Lozano et al 2011), its effectiveness must be related to fish size and species, dietary inclusion levels, dietary fish meal content, or raw material processing conditions. For instance, including 10% untreated pea meal or 20% pea protein isolate in diets for juvenile milkfish ( C. chanos ) (Borlongan et al 2003) or tilapia ( O. niloticus ) (Schulz et al 2007) negatively affected fish performance, whereas up to 40% whole pea meal (Gouveia & Davies 1998) or up to 30% extruded pea meal (Gouveia & Davies 2000) has been successfully included in sea bass diets and up to 37% extruded pea meal (Pereira & Oliva-Teles 2002) or 32% pea protein concentrate in extruded diets (Sánchez-Lozano et al 2011) in gilthead sea bream. In the present study, 15% pea protein concentrate tended to reduce growth performance of sea bream, whereas in previous studies conducted in the same species (Sánchez-Lozano et al 2011), with the same pea protein concentrate and under similar fish size and temperature conditions, it did not affect growth.…”

Criteria for Safe Use of Plant Ingredients in Diets for Aquacultured Fish

“…Pea protein concentrate or isolate is therefore more suitable. Milk fish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) fed 15% dietary protein (20% by weight) or more from oven-dried (60°C for 4 h), finely ground pea meal grew slower and feed conversion, protein utilization, and protein and dry matter digestibility were negatively influenced (Borlongan et al, 2003). For Atlantic salmon, pea protein concentrate, produced by air separation, at inclusion levels of 21 and 28% led to apparent digestibility coefficients for dry matter, nitrogen, and energy similar to those of a commercial diet and higher than a control diet containing fishmeal as the sole protein source (Carter and Hauler, 2000).…”
