Tryptophan-13C11 Supplementation and its Effects on Cannibalism, Growth, and Survival of Ompok bimaculatus Post-Larvae
Main Article Content
Abstract
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.
