Effect dietary energy levels and feeding rates on growth and body composition of fingerling rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Growth, feed conversion ratio and fillet composition of rainbow trout (initial weight of 9.99±0.109)were investigated in a 6x2 factorial design experiment employing two levels of digestible energy (DE) (2900 and 3500kcal.kg-1) and six feeding rates (1.0%, 2.0%, 3.0%, 4.0%,5.0% of the body weight,(BW) day-1 and to satiation) for 60 days. Specific growth rate (SGR) was highest at 5.0% ration in b...

Morphological and Genetic Diversity of the Wood-Boring Xylophaga (Mollusca, Bivalvia): New Species and Records from Deep-Sea Iberian Canyons

Deep-sea bivalves of the Xylophagaidae, a poorly known group, are obligate wood-borers. Deployment of wood in three submarine canyons off the Iberian coast, the Blanes and La Fonera Canyons (Mediterranean Sea) and the Avilés Canyon (Cantabric Sea, Bay of Biscay), lead to the discovery of four xylophagaid species in our samples. Xylophaga dorsalis (the dominant species), X. atlantica, X. cf. ans...

The effect of different feeding rates and restriction on the growth performance of Clarias gariepinus

This study seeks to investigate the effect of restricted feeding regimes at different rate on growth performance of Clarias gariepinus using static and flow through system. Fingerlings were divided into six batches for each systems with the first and second batch fed at 5% body weight (BW) every day and every other day respectively, the third and fourth batch were fed 10% BW every day and every...

Comparison of the effects of feeding two different diets on the growth rates and survival of Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of feeding two different diets on the growth rate and survival of zebrafish in order to produce resistant and better-quality fish. For this purpose, two experimental diets with different levels of protein and fat were given to zebrafish (20 days old) five times a day for a period of 70 days (10 weeks). The results of this research showed that fee...
