![]() ![]() batrachus in semi-intensive manner is getting importance. Currently, screening of autochthonous probiotic organisms for the cultivation of C. batrachus farming is becoming inevitable. Conversely, African cat fish Clarias gariepinus has been significantly identified as a potential threat to biodiversity, despite being its large scale cultivation across the world. Pathogenic infections, diminution of natural habitats and introduction of allied exotic fishes are the causes of productivity constraint, particularly in Southern Asia. ![]() At present, it remains at a merely vulnerable state. Conclusion The best growth performance and feed utilization were found at the application of probiotic into biofloc system at 5-day intervals over 60 days.Ĭlarias batrachus (Linn.) is widely recognized in Indian sub-continent for its nutritional and economic significance. The ANOVA test showed that the application frequency of probiotic into biofloc system of cultured media had the significant effect on the growth performance, survival rate, and feed utilization of African catfish. Results The study showed that the growth performance, survival, and feed utilization of African catfish were higher in the treatment at 5-day intervals over 60 days. The application of probiotic was reperformed after 5 days, 10 days, and 15 days after stocking. The fish was fed a commercial diet that contains 38% crude protein, twice a day at satiation. The fish was stocked into the biofloc system 7 days after cultured at stocking density of 1000 fish tank. 2000 L) by mixing the probiotic (sp.) 10 mL and molasses 200 mL per liter of Bacillus water. Biofloc culture was grown in an experiment tank (vol. ![]() Methods The treatment was the frequency of probiotic application into the cultured system, namely, 5-day interval, 10-day interval, and 15-day interval for 60 days of experiment. Background The objective of the present study was to evaluate the growth performance and feed utilization of African catfish fed a commercial diet and Clarias gariepinus reared in the biofloc system enhanced with probiotic. ![]()
