Performance of commercial poultry offal meal as fishmeal replacement in the diet of juvenile Malaysian mahseer, Tor tambroides

Mahseer is one of the most expensive freshwater fish in Malaysia and has a good potential for freshwater aquaculture industry. This study was conducted to evaluate the suitability of Poultry Offal Meal (POM) as Fish Meal (FM) replacement in the diet of Malaysian mahseer (Tor tambroides). The POM:FM...

The POM:FM ratios tested were 0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25 and 100:0. One hundred and fifty mahseer fingerlings (3.0±0.05 g) were equally and randomly stocked into 15 65 L aquaria.
