Abstract Effects of live and dry feeds on intestinal morphology and growth of African catfish,
Clarias gariepinus, larvae (Burchell, 1822) were investigated from 2 days post hatching …

African catfish, Clarias gariepinus (B.), is one of the promising freshwater fish species in
African aquaculture but the expansion of its farming needs more production of its larvae. The …

The potential use of locally grown rotifers (Brachionus calyciflorus) as an alternative starter
live feed to Artemia in the feeding of African catfish larvae was explored. Larvae cultured in …

Freshwater fish larviculture is the most sensitive step in aquaculture. It is characterized by a
very high mortality rate, generally due to the mismatch between the feed used and the …

Demand for fish in both rural and urban areas is very high in Tanzania. In recent times, the
African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, has gained popularity in the aquaculture sector of …

This study investigated the effects of formulated and commercial diets as starter feeds on the
performance of Clarias gariepinus larvae in the hatchery. Two hundred larvae were …

Feed preference of Clarias batrachus juveniles (average weight 0.69±0.01 g) was observed
with commercial feed (CP 9910-L), artificial feed (laboratory made), and live feed either non …

Aims: To compare the growth response and survival rates of Clarias gariepinus Burchell,
1822 fry fed artificially formulated fry feed using Artemia salina shell free as control. Study …

Clarias gariepinus culture remains undeveloped in Côte d'Ivoire due to the lack of locally
quality feed, fingerlings, and the high cost of imported feed Artemia salina. Because of the …

The artificial propagation of commercially important fish species in Ethiopia is constrained by
high mortality rate at the early stage of larval rearing and a subsequent poor growth …
