Table 5. Proximate composition (% of wet weight) of juvenile fish fed experimental diets with various feeding ratios for 10 weeks
Feeding ratio (%) | Moisture (%) | Crude protein (%) | Crude lipid (%) | Ash (%) |
100 | 70.2 ± 0.27 | 20.3 ± 0.40 | 3.4 ± 0.08 | 5.5 ± 0.29 |
95 | 72.8 ± 1.10 | 18.7 ± 0.77 | 3.4 ± 0.25 | 5.1 ± 0.27 |
90 | 70.9 ± 0.41 | 19.5 ± 0.31 | 3.4 ± 0.20 | 5.5 ± 0.05 |
85 | 71.7 ± 1.07 | 19.5 ± 0.82 | 3.1 ± 0.18 | 5.3 ± 0.40 |
80 | 71.4 ± 0.23 | 19.9 ± 0.51 | 3.0 ± 0.30 | 5.5 ± 0.06 |
75 | 70.6 ± 0.97 | 20.6 ± 0.80 | 3.3 ± 0.18 | 5.6 ± 0.08 |
70 | 70.0 ± 0.94 | 20.2 ± 0.46 | 3.3 ± 0.23 | 5.4 ± 0.29 |
Values (mean of triplicates ± SE) are not significantly different for any feeding treatment (p > 0.05).
