Mem. Fac. Fish., Kagoshima Univ.Vol. 36,No.1, pp. 7-15 (1987)Effects of Feeding Rate, Fish Size, and Dietary Protein andCellulose Levels on the Growth of Tilapia niloticaShin-ichi Teshima! Akio Kanazawa* and Shunsuke KoshioAbstractTwo feeding experiments were conducted to examine the effects of feeding rate, fish size,and dietary protein and cellulose levels on the weight gain, feed conversion efficiency (FCE),protein efficiency ratio (PER), and feed consumption ofTilapia niloticafingerlings. The effectsof factors were evaluated with 2 or 4 levels in a factorial design using an orthogonal array L8. InExperiment I, the weight gain (%) was slightly higher (P 0.10) insmall fish (about 0. 36g)than in large fish (about 6. 8g) but not significantly different with the feeding rates (1.5%,3.5%, 5.5%, and adlibitum feeding) and dietary protein levels (25% and 35% ). The FCEandPER were decreased withincreasing feeding rates (P 0. 05) andwere higher(P 0. 05) insmall fish than in large fish but not significantly differed between 25% and 35 protein diets.,InExperiment II, theweight gain (%) and PERwere decreased with increasing dietary celluloselevels (2%, 7%, 12%, and 17%)(P 0.05) and were higher (P 0.05) on 35% protein dietthan 25% protein diet. However, the feed consumption and FCE were not significantlyvariable with dietary cellulose and protein levels.Growth of fish is affected by variousfactors such as rearingand feeding conditionsbesidesnutritive value of diets. In the first paper1 ]of this series, we have investigated the effects ofdietary protein source, feeding rate, feeding frequency, stocking density, vitamin level,anda binder on the growth of Tilapia nilotica fingerlings. The results showed that thegrowthof T. nilotica was markedly affected by the feeding rate and protein source. On the otherhand, interestingly, Wang et al2) reported that the growth of T. nilotica was decreased withincreasing dietary cellulose levels when fed low (22%)-protein diets in contrast to high(32% and 41% )-protein diets. For these findings, it appeared of interest to investigate theeffects of feeding rate and dietary cellulose level on the growth of Tilapia in detail.In the present study, two feeding experiments designed using anorthogonal array L8 wereconducted to see the effects of feeding rate and dietary cellulose level besides those of fishsize and dietary protein level on the growth of T. nilotica.Laboratory of Marine Nutritional Chemistry, Faculty of Fisheries, Kagoshima University, 50-20Shimoarata 4, Kagoshima 890, Japan.

Mem. Fac. Fish., Kagoshima Univ. Vol.36, No.1 (1987)Materials and MethodsT. nilotica fingerlings were obtained from a commercial Tilapia farm (Fuji-EnterpriseCo., Kagoshima) and maintained on a commercial carp ration until used. Feedingexperiments were designed by using an orthogonal array L8 to examine the effects of somefactors on the weight gain, feed conversion efficiency (FCE), protein efficiency ratio(PER), and feed consumption of T. nilotica fingerlings. The effects of factors were testedwith 2or4levels under the rearing conditions listed inTable 1and evaluated by analysis ofvariance at the significant levels of 5% or 10%3). Table 2 shows the compositions of testdiets. The basal ration of test diets was the same as reported previously1). Table 3gives thefactors and levels examined in the present study.Table 1 .

TESHIMA et al '. Effects of some Factors on Growth of TilapiaIn Experiment I, the feeding trials were conducted to examine the effects of feeding rate(factor A), fish size (factor B), and dietary protein level (factor C) on the weight gain,FCE, and PER (Table 4). Tilapia fingerlings, each weighing 0. 36 g or 6. 86 g in averagebody weight, were reared with 2 diets containing 25% or 35% casein-gelatin (3 11) asprotein sources at various feeding rates (1.5%, 3. 5%, and 5. 5% of body weight per day andad libitum) for 5 weeks. Experiment II dealt with the effects of dietary cellulose (factor D)and protein (factor C) levels on the weight gain, FCE, PER, and feed consumption. InExperiment II, the fingerlings, each weighing 0. 36 g in average body weight, were rearedwith 8 diets containing varying levels of cellulose (2%, 7%, 12%, and 17%) andcasein-gelatin (3 ! 1) (25% and 35% ). The fish werefed the diets adlibitum for the period of5 weeks.Table 3 .Factors and levels examined in Experiments IFactor*1andHLevelExperimentIFactor A : Feeding rate(% of body wt./day)Ai I 1.5%A2 : 3.5%A3 : 5.5%A 4 '. ad lib.Factor B : Fish sizeBi : SmallB2 ' LargeFactor C : Protein level in diets*2Ci : 25%C2 : 35%ExperimentHFactor C : Protein level in diets*2Ci : 25%C2 : 35%Factor D : Cellulose level in dietsDi : 2%D2 : 7%D3 : 12%D4 : 17%sic1The factors were alloted to the orthogonal array Ls as shown in*2Diets contained 1% L-Trp : L-Met (1 : 1 ) as nitrogen sourcesTable 4.besides 25% or 35% protein, a mixture of casein-gelatin (3:1)Results and DiscussionTable 5 shows the results of Experiment I.

Koyama* has recommended the feedingrate of 6-8% for T. nilotica fingerlings weighing less than 50 g at the water temperature of25-30 C. The weight gain, FCE, and PER data were analyzed by analysis ofvariance3) toassess the effects of factors examined (Table 6).In agreement with results previously reported1 \ the growth of Tilapia was markedlyaffected by the feeding rates (Fig. 1), but a significant difference (P 0. 05) was notdetected on the feeding rate (factor A), fish size (factor B), and dietary protein level* Koyama: Yoshoku, 10, 49-53 (1983).

The failure to detect a significant difference on theweight gain data is plausibly attributable to the discrepancy in growth between the small andlarge fingerlings which enlarged the variablities of data. These results indicate that futurestudies should perhaps take more into account the interaction between feeding rates and fishsizes in feeding trials using T. nilotica, because the weight gain seemed to increase withincreasing feeding rates from 1. 5% to 6. 8% (ad libitum feeding) in both small and large fish(Fig. 1) and also to be higher on 35% protein diet than 25% protein diet (Fig. 2). TheFCE and PER were decreased significantly (P 0. 05) with increasing feeding rates andwere also higher on small fish than large fish. However, neither FCE nor PER differedsignificantly with dietary protein levels (25% and 35% ). Analogous effects of feeding rate

They examined the effects of feeding rate (1.5%, 2.25%, and 3.0% ofbody weight per day) and protein level (25% and 30% ) on growth in a factorial design, andpointed that each increase in feeding rate brought forth an increase in growth rate but thegrowth response was diminished at the highest rate, whereas the feed conversion factor,protein retention, and energy retention were stepwise impaired.Tables 7 and 8 and Figs. 3 and 4 show the results of Experiment II. In Experiment II, thehighest weight gain was obtained in group No. 22 receiving the diet with 2% cellulose and35% protein. As for the weight gain and PER data, a significant difference (P 0. 05) wasdetected on both dietary protein (factor C) and cellulose (factor D) levels. The weight gainand PER were higher on 35% protein diet than on 25% protein diet and also diets with 2%cellulose than with higher cellulose levels. Optimum dietary protein levels for T. niloticahave been estimated by several workers using casein or casein-gelatin (3 11) as proteinsources5"9*. Generally, the optimum weight gain has been attained on diets containing30-40% protein in diets. Recently, Wang et al10) have shown that an optimum dietaryprotein level required for the maximum growth of T. nilotica was 25% in diets when thefeeding rate was 3.5% of body weight per day. The FCE was not significantly different withdietary cellulose levels but tended to be higher (P 0.10) on 35% protein diet rather than on25 % protein diet. The effects of dietary protein levels on the FCE and PER in ExperimentII did not agree with those in Experiment I. This discrepancy may be ascribed to thedifference in the size of fish used.In the present study, the feed consumption was not significantly different with eitherdietary cellulose or protein levels. On the other hand, Wang etal2) reported that the weightgain of T. nilotica tended to be decreased with increasing dietary cellulose levels from 0 % to15% when the fish were fed 22% protein diets to satiation, showing that the reduction of

They have alsoshown that the digestibilities of carbohydrates ( a -starch and dextrin) by Tilapia weredecreased from 93-96% to 87-88% when dietary cellulose levels were increased from 4. 5%to 14. 5%10). In the present study, the feed consumption tended to be slightly higheron low(2%)-cellulose diets than on higher (7%, 12%, and 17%)-cellulose diets, but it was notsignificantly different. Interestingly, Wang etal2) have also shown that the Tilapia fed high(32% and 41%)-protein diets ad libitum gave an almost constant feed consumptionregardless dietary cellulose levels. Further detailed work is required to manifest theinteraction between dietary cellulose and protein levels on the growth and feed consumptionin Tilapia species.AcknowledgementsThanks are given to Mr. T.
