The Effects of Feeding Frequencıes on The Growth Performance and Life Rate in Electric Yellow Fish Fry (Labidochromıs caeruleus)

Ornamental fish farming has become an important industry in the world. are called living gems because of their color, shape and behavior. Modern ornamental production requires a nutritionally balanced, cost-effective sustainable feeding process. Among operating costs aquaculture, cost feed ratio varying between 40% 60% among total other expenses. In this study, it was aimed to investigate effects meal number on growth performance survival rate Electric yellow cichlid fries (Labidochromis caeruleus). 60 were stocked 12 aquariums 33 * 35 40 cm size established Tekirdag Namık Kemal University Technical Sciences Vocational School Fisheries Laboratory. The study carried out 3 repetitions: 1 per day, meals, 5 meals every up 5% body weight, by applying 4 different fish. During weight height measurements made 30 days, data obtained evaluated at end effect investigated. At trial, weights measured as 3.696 ± 1.517 g, 4.757 1.898 3.786 1.539 g 3.380 1.318 heights 5.726 0.675 cm, 6.300 0.530 5.640 0.776 4.562 1.952 respectively. No statistical difference found administered terms average gain specific rate. However, according results length fish, day meals. As result, considering health cost, times daily frequency considered sufficient.
