Implication

Controlled feeding trial demonstrates optimal growth in bonylip barb fed a half-duckweed diet, indicating a viable strategy to reduce aquaculture costs.

Key Points

To evaluate the growth performance and survival rate of bonylip barb (Osteochilus vittatus) fed various combinations of Lemna perpusilla and commercial diet.
Bonylip barb fish (14 per group) were reared in 45x45x40 cm³ aquaria and evaluated over an 84-day (12-week) feeding trial.
Five dietary regimens were tested: 100% commercial feed (A), 75% commercial feed + 25% Lemna (B), 50% commercial feed + 50% Lemna (C), 25% commercial feed + 75% Lemna (D), and 100% Lemna (E), with commercial feed provided at 3% and Lemna at 30% of body weight.
Fish fed diet C (50% commercial feed and 50% Lemna) attained the highest standard and total length, body weight, absolute growth, and specific growth rate relative to all other dietary groups.
Fish fed diet E (100% Lemna) achieved the highest overall survival rate among the treatments.
