The effect of varying dietary protein level on the growth, food conversion, protein utilization and body composition of tropical catfish Mystus nemurus (C. and V.) cultured in static pond water system

Tropical catfish, Mystus nemurus (C. & V.) (25.89 ± 0.7 g) were stocked semi-intensively in 0.03-ha earthen ponds at the rate of 10 000 ha”-1 and fed six iso-energetic practical diets ranging from 27% to 50% protein for 8 weeks. Each diet was fed in three replicate ponds twice daily to satiation...
