Abstract

Fry of tilipia (Oreochromis niloticus (average initial weight, 0.04g) were stocked at a density of 100/m3 in floating net-hapas and fed differfent combinations of agro-industrial wastes under the following treatments: I, Corn bran only; II, Corn bran + Rice bran (1:1) and III, Corn bran + Rice bran + Brewer's waste (1:1:1). Each treatment was replicated twice, using completely randomised design. The combiation of corn bra and rice bran (1:1) gave the best average final weight/fish, (1.260g); best average daily weight gain, (0.029g/day); best feed conversion ratio (FCR) 4.38; and specific growth rate (SGR), 3.59%/day.
