Dietary Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) replacement enhances performance of juvenile Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of Spirulina ( Arthrospira platensis ) inclusion in experimental diets of juvenile Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ). Iso-nitrogenous and iso-lipidic diets were prepared using a positive control diet (S0) and four basal diets with A. platens...

Zusammenfassung:A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of Spirulina ( Arthrospira platensis ) inclusion in experimental diets of juvenile Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ). Iso-nitrogenous and iso-lipidic diets were prepared using a positive control diet (S0) and four basal diets with A. platensis at 30 % (S30), 45 % (S45), 60 % (S60), and 75 % (S75) inclusion levels. Experimental diets were randomly assigned to tanks (13.35 kg m −3 ) with initial body weight of 0.89 ± 0.02 g in triplicates. The results of the feeding trial demonstrated significantly improved ( P
