Abstract:

The primary objectives of feed formulation is to provide the species under culture with an acceptable diet that meets its nutritional requirements at different stages of its life, so as to yield optimum production at minimum cost. Although rice bran and mustard oil cake are being used as fish supplementary feed, these materials are highly scarce and the cost is very high. Animal by-products constitute the most important ingredients of aqua culture feeds. The most suitable animal product for incorporation into fish diets is fish meal. The processed soybean (as a protein source) and aquatic macrophytes have been known to have potential food value. Squilla (as a another protein source) is valuable animal protein for fishes. In deficiency of natural feed, the supplementary feed is best option to increase economical value of fishes. In the present study indicates that incorporation of soybean ,fish meal and squilla meal at high dietary protein level in the traditional rice bran an oil cake diets, would perform well and further studies at higher level of incorporation may reveal the optimum dietary requirement levels of this protein source.
