Summary
ABSTRACT
In the two trials nine experimental diets of 25, 30 and 35% protein contents and within each level, three levels of metabolizable energy (ME) 2400, 2800 and 3200 kcal ME/kg representing nine P/E ratios ranged between 77.9 to 141.7 mg protein /kcal were tested. In the first trial red tilapia fry (0.70 - 0.82 g) and in the second experiment red tilapia fingerlings (9.06 - 9.59 g...
