This conference brought together 19 tilapia biologists and experimental culturists from 10
countries. It was designed from the outset as a technical conference on the basic biology of …

The coefficients of digestibility for crude protein and gross energy of several foodstuffs used
in Jamaican tilapia feeds were determined for the Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L) …

The nutritional components and gross energy made available for cell maintenance, growth,
locomotion and reproduction are determined by the amount of food consumed, the fraction …

A 14-day digestibility trial was conducted to compare the use of three external dietary
markers (chromic oxide, polyethylene and acid-washed sand) and a natural internal dietary …

Rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) weighing 80 g initially were given a diet with 30% fish meal
or with 24.2% poultry byproduct as main source of protein without or with L-lysine 1.5 …

Acid-insoluble ash (AIA) was evaluated as an inert marker material for digestibility studies in
tilapia. No significant differences were found in apparent digestibility coefficients (ADC) for …

Despite some attempts, specific tilapia gonadotropins have not yet been satisfactorily
purified; the ubiquity of specific prolactins in controlling both osmoregulation and parental …

The digestibility of the aquatic macrophyte Hydrilla verticellata by the Asian cichlid, Etroplus
