- Abstract
The experiment was conducted to determine the effect of different protein feeds on the growth performance and survival rate of silver moony, Monodactylus argenteus. Four formulated diets with graded protein levels, T1 (22%), T2 (28%), T3 (35%) and T4 (40%) were fed to fish for a period of 90 days. The significantly (P<0.01) highest mean weight gain, feed conversion rate, specific growth rate and survival were observed in T4, followed by T3, T2 and lowest values were recorded in T1. The increase in dietary protein levels were resulted in an increase in growth and survival of fish. In considering these results, it can be concluded the diet containing 40% protein diet is optimal for growth and survival of silver moony.
