| Summary: | Mystus nemurus (C.&V.) has enormous potential of
becoming a cultured species in Malaysia . In the absence of
information on import ant nutritional requirements of the
species,aquaculture development could be considerably limited.
With the objective of introducing the species to aquaculture ,
the following studies were conducted : i ) digestibility of
M .nemurus with potential feed ingredients , such as fish meal ,
soybean meal , rice bran , maize , copra meal and chicken viscera ;
ii ) optimum dietary protein requirement of the species under
tank and pond culture conditions using six isoenergetic
practical diets that contained 27 , 32 , 37 , 42 , 47 and 50%
protein ; and iii ) determination of optimum stocking density of
M . nemurus cultured intensively at six variable densities,
such as 105 , 195 , 285, 375 , 465 and 555 fish/m3 respectively. |
