Effect of smoked fish waste meal on growth response and fish production of African mudfish (Burchell, 1822): An economic implication in Nigeria

Abstract

The increasing need for livestock feed concentrates in Nigeria cannot be over- emphasized. The increase cost of fish meal and its future availability have made it imperative for the aquaculture industry to reduce or remove fish meal from fish diets when possible. In the present study, growth response, feed efficiency parameters and cost implications were determined. The mean weight gains and total feed fed were significant across the treatments following unique trend pattern of direct proportion to inclusion levels (p
