Introduction:

Tilapias are

• hardy fish

• well established in water bodies of Sri Lanka

• mainstay of reservoir fisheries

• cheap animal protein source for the poor people

• it has a big demand

Page 3: Economically feasible fish feed for GIFT Tilapia (Oreochromis

• Among these Tilapia varieties, recently

introduced (2001) GIFT Tilapia

(Oreochromis niloticus species) has

shown better performance in aquaculture

practices than reservoir fisheries

Page 4: Economically feasible fish feed for GIFT Tilapia (Oreochromis

Accordingly, it could be used in aquaculture practices

• cage culture • pen culture • pond culture

To enhance the tilapia production beyond the level of consumption of the rural poor population Aiming Urban Markets

Large & Medium Perennial Reservoirs

Small Perennial Reservoirs

Mud ponds in Mahaweli area

Hill country Estate ponds

Page 6: Economically feasible fish feed for GIFT Tilapia (Oreochromis

Abandoned shrimp ponds and clay pits are

new resources that could be used in

Aquaculture

Abandoned clay pits Abandoned shrimp ponds

Most of the farmers use Poultry feed as it is cheaper than fish feed available in market Poultry Feed =Rs.70.00/kg (0.65 US$) Fish Feed =Rs.160.00/kg (1.05 US$)

Feed cost is the highest

Operating cost in Semi-intensive

Aquaculture Practices in Asia

(De Silva, 1988)

Page 9: Economically feasible fish feed for GIFT Tilapia (Oreochromis

Objective

• Introduce an economical feed

for GIFT Tilapia food fish culture

( semi-intensive culture)

Page 10: Economically feasible fish feed for GIFT Tilapia (Oreochromis

Methodology

Trial was carried out in abandoned

clay pit

Area= 1.5 ha

Depth= 4 - 5 m

Page 11: Economically feasible fish feed for GIFT Tilapia (Oreochromis

Size of cages

•Length = 1m

• Width = 1m

• Height = 1m

Prepared 9 plastic mesh cages .

Capacity =1m3.

Page 12: Economically feasible fish feed for GIFT Tilapia (Oreochromis

Advanced Fingerlings of GIFT Tilapia were stocked in these cages

Stocking density= 100 fingerling /m3

(100 fingerlings /cage)

Mean Length=9.7

2.08 cm; Mean weight=18.7

GIFT Tilapia Advanced Fingerlings were obtained from Aquaculture Development Centre in Dambulla

Page 14: Economically feasible fish feed for GIFT Tilapia (Oreochromis

Two economical Feeds (Feed-A &

Feed-B) were formulated.

Protein % was adjusted through

Pearson's Square method as 20.

Ingredients were mixed through

Electronic Mixer

Prepared as dough in situ

Page 15: Economically feasible fish feed for GIFT Tilapia (Oreochromis

Tested these 2 feeds with control feed (poultry

feed) in triplicate

•Feed provided twice /day according to 5% of body weight

•Random sampling was carried out monthly & Feed amounts were adjusted accordingly

•Culture period was lasted 125 days

Page 18: Economically feasible fish feed for GIFT Tilapia (Oreochromis

• Following indices were determined

1).Average Daily Growth (ADG)

2).Specific Growth Rate (SGR)

3).Condition Factor (CF)

4).% Survival

5). Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR)

6).Cost of feed

Page 19: Economically feasible fish feed for GIFT Tilapia (Oreochromis

SGR-W = Ln Final weight–Ln Initial weight x 100

Experimental duration (Ricker, 1979)

ADG = Final weight of fish- Initial weight of fish Days of rearing

FCR = Weight gained by fish (g) x 100 (Helper, 1988)

Weight of feed consumed (g)

Page 20: Economically feasible fish feed for GIFT Tilapia (Oreochromis

CF = W x 100 Ricker, 1977

L3

% Survival = No. of fish harvested x 100

No. of fish stocked

Conclusion

•Feed-B could be recommended as

an economical feed for Tilapia (GIFT

strain) food fish culture (semi intensive

culture).

Page 29: Economically feasible fish feed for GIFT Tilapia (Oreochromis

Recommendations

• This feed should be provided to the market in pellet form for the convenience of farmers.
