Effects of crustacean waste as feed on growth performances of siamese fighting fish (betta splendens)

The Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) are widely known as essential and demanded ornamental fish in Malaysia. This fish is attractive and elegant that it is being cultured domestically. Meanwhile, crustacean crab is produced about 40 % and it being discharged about 60 % to 80 % as biomass into...

Effects of crustacean waste as feed on growth performances of siamese fighting fish (betta splendens)
description The Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) are widely known as essential and demanded ornamental fish in Malaysia. This fish is attractive and elegant that it is being cultured domestically. Meanwhile, crustacean crab is produced about 40 % and it being discharged about 60 % to 80 % as biomass into the environment. As this waste contains protein that could enhance growth rate, it could be a good choice to be used as alternate source of feed for fighting fish. The objectives of this study are to determine proximate composition in formulated fish feed using crustacean waste and to examine effect of crab waste in fish feed on growth performances on Betta splendens.
