Effects of different fat level in feeds upon some culture indices of african catfish (Clarias gariepi-nus) reared in cages in cooling water

Abstract

During 37 days of experiment in cooling water canal, African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) (initial weight ca 58 g) were fed with feeds containing different lipid level (10.9, 15.0 and 19.9%). The experiment was carried out in triplicates. The stocking density was 150 ind./cage (1 m³ each). The lipid requirement of African catfish was 15%.
