| Abstract/Description: | A 90-days experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of biofloc produced with different carbon sources on growth performances, survival and body indices of Pangasianodon hypophthalmus fngerlings (average body weight: 6.4±0.05 g). The different carbon sources used in the experiment employing biofloc technology (BFT) were BFT-T (tapioca), BFT-S (sorghum), BFT-PM (pearl millet), BFT-FM (fnger millet) and clear water with no addition of carbon source was treated as control. At the end of the experiment, signifcantly (p<0.05) higher weight gain (24.34±0.50 g), Specifc growth rate, SGR (1.37±0.02% day-1); Feed effciency ratio, FER (0.47±0.01); Protein effciency ratio, PER (1.47±0.03) and lower Feed conversion ratio, FCR (2.12±0.03) were witnessed in the group where fnger millet was used as a carbon source (BFT-FM) and signifcantly lower responses were noticed in the control (CW). Results showed that there were no signifcant differences (p>0.05) in hepatosomatic index and viscerosomatic index of fsh between the different experimental groups. During the termination of the experiment, no mortality was seen among the different experimental groups. Based on the results acquired from this study, fnger millet could be used as an ideal carbon source for biofloc to augment the growth and productivity of P. hypophthalmus under farming. |
