چکیده
Growth of Red, GIFT and Supreme Nile tilapia strains were evaluated. Fish were cultivated in indoor recirculation systems in 0.5 m3 tanks with controlled temperatures of 22, 28 and 30°C. Random samples of 20 fish from each strain (10 fish tank) were weighed at day 7, 30, 60, 90 and 120. Exponential model (y=Ae) and Gompertz model (y = Aexp(-Be)) were fitted and the estimates parameters were obtained by Weighted Least Squares. At 22°C, Red, GIFT and Supreme strain presented similar growth and fit of exponential model. GIFT and Supreme strain presented higher growth rate at 30°C of cultivation when compared to Red strain. Temperature influences weight and age at the inflection point. The temperature of cultivation influences the growth description of Red, GIFT and Supreme tilapia strains. It changes the age and weight at inflection point and the qualities of growth model fits, changing the variation of the batch.

The availability of O. niloticus fingerlings remains a problem in South Western Highland Agro-Ecological Zones. Most fish farmers produce only small sized fish probably because of inbreeding in Uganda. Brood stocks of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus L. were collected from Lakes Victoria, Kyoga and Kayumbu, a minor lake in SWHAEZ. The brood-stock were conditioned and bred. Fingerlings of F1 ...

In this study, fish meal (FM) was replaced by the black soldier fly maggot meal (BSFM) with replacement levels at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. The feeding trial was conducted for 56 days and the effect of each replacement level on the growth performance, feed utilization, body composition and survival of the experimental fish was assessed. All the experimental diets were well accepted by the fis...
