A total of 630 Nile tilapia fingerlings with an average body weight of 26.4 ± 0.2 g were divided in the seven experimental net-pen treatments (three replicates each). The experiment was conducted for 119 days. Seven isonitrogenous (26.50%) digestible protein and isocaloric (13.40 MJ kgl) digestible energy experimental diets were formulated. The control diet had no SC and EDE added. Diets 2-3 each contained SC at levels of 2 and 4 g 100 g diet-t, respectively, while diets 4-5 each contained EDE at levels of (0.64, 1.28, 0.16) and (1.28, 2.56, 0.32) g 100 gdiefI of pepsin, papain and a-amylase, respectively. Diet 6 contained mixture of SC and EDE at levels of 1 g yeast and 0.32, 0.64, 0.08 g of pepsin, papain and a-amylase, respectively 100 gdiet1 and diet D7 contained 2 g yeast and 0.64, 1.28, 0.16 g of pepsin, papain and a-amylase, respectively 100 g dietl. Growth performance and feed utilization efficiency of Nile tilapia were significantly (P 〈 0.05) higher in all treatments receiving SC and/or EDE supplemented-diets than the control diet which suggests that the addition of SC and EDE enhanced the growth performance. Red blood cells counts, hematocrit and hemoglobin were significantly (P 〈 0.05) highest in all treatments receiving mixture of SC and EDE supplemented-diets (D6 + D7). The same trend was observed for total plasma protein and total plasma globulin levels. The results of present study suggested that Nile tilapia fingerlings fed diets containing the mixture of I g yeast, SC and 0.32, 0.64, 0.08 g of pepsin, papain and a-amylase, respectively 100 gdiet^-1, for 119 days had enhanced growth performance, diet utilization efficiency and hematological indices.展开更多

This paper reviews some Thai research papers for referable benefit of international countries. The relationships of fecundity with body length and weight of wild population are related (F = 0.54L3339, F = 435.41W^S399). Length-weight relationships of both sexes are W = 0.0059L3044s. Sex ratio is 1:1 and spawning season starts during March to June, the egg is adhesive demersal. Average mature size of both sexes are from 40-60 cm TL and 1,100-2,900 g. Effect of 3 types of hormone on induced ovulation, including HCG, pituitary gland, and buserelin in combination with domperidone are not signiticantly different (P 〉 0.05). Hatching occurs in 24-25 hours after fertilization. The hatching percentage is 80%. Nursing and feeding strategies are also reviewed in this paper.展开更多
