Abstract
This study was carried out to evaluate the growth response of Nile tilapia; O.niloticus L. to dietary protein levels at two stocking densities. This study was bifactorial designed (3 protein levels x 2 stocking densities). Fish (1.8-2.5 g/fish) was randomly distributed into the aquaria at a rate of 15 or 30 fish/100 L. The temperature was adjusted at 27±1 °C. Fish of each density were fed either a diet containing 25%, 35% or 45% CP with a feeding rate of 4% of body weight twice daily for 5 days a week for 70 days,The obtained results showed that the final body weight, weight gain, weight gain %, specific growth rate (SGR)were positively affected by protein level and inversely affected by stocking density, but not affected by their interaction. Condition factor was significantly affected only with dietary protein levels (PO.05), while survival rate did not differ significantly by protein levels or stocking densities. The maximum growth was obtained with 45% CP at low density (10 J g/fish), whereas the lowest growth was obtained with 25% CP at high density (6.4 g/fish). On the other hand, the reduced growth at high density could be recovered by increasing the protein level
Feed intake increased significantly with increasing dietary protein level only (PO.01). Feed conversion ratio (FCR), protein efficiency ratio (PER) and protein productive value (PPV) were significantly affected by protein level and stocking density (PO.01), The best FCR was obtained with 45% protein diet at low density (1.72) and with 35% under low density (1.8.1) with insignificant: (1.72) and with 35% under low density (1.81) with insignificant difference (P>0.05). The highest values of PER and PPV were obtained with 25% CP at low (1.913 and 30.54%, respectively) and high density (1.720 and 26.64%, respectively) with significant difference (PO.01).Moisture was significantly affected by protein level only (PO.05), while crude protein, total lipids and ash were significantly affected by protein level and stocking density. The highest protein content in fish body was obtained with 45% CP at low and high densities (58.0% and 57.9%, respectively; P>0.05). The highest content of body lipids was observed in fish fed 25% protein diet at low and high densities (32,8 and 31.0%, respectively; P>0.05). The highest content of carcass ash was noticed in fish fed 45% protein diet at low and high densities with significant difference (15.6% and 16.8%, respectively; P<0,05).
