In order to facilitate restocking programme, a study on nutrition was conducted at UPM, Terengganu. E i A t experiments were carried out to determine the feeding frequency, stocking density, optimal protein level and additives, digestibihty, development of enzymes, carotenoids and replacement of live foods of T. tambroides fry (mean SL 6.0 mm-lO.O mm and weiAiing 0.06-0.08 g).
