Abstract


This study examined how Tryptophan-13C11 supplementation to the diet of Ompokbimaculatus post larvae affects cannibalism, survival, and growth.


  • Experiment: Post larvae were fed diets with varying Tryptophan-13C11levels (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 4%) for 30 days.

  • Stocking density: 10 days old post-larvae were stocked @ 10 post-larval-1

  • Experimental period: 30 days

Findings:


  • Tryptophan-13C11 increased serotonin levels in the fish and slightly decreased growth rate.

  • Survival rates were higher in groups fed Tryptophan-13C11diets.

Conclusion: Dietary Tryptophan-13C11 can be a useful tool to improve survival rate in O. bimaculatus post larvae rearing. However, it may slightly impact growth rates.
