Abstract

          A feeding trial was conducted to study the effects of diets supplemented with green algae, on growth performance and chemical composition of Fancy carp (Cyprinus carpio). The green algae, Cladophora sp. & Rhizoclonium sp., which were collected from the river in Fakta district, Uttaradit province, were dried and grinded into powder and then supplemented to a commercial fish feed which used as a basal diet. Dried mixed green algae powder of Cladophora sp. & Rhizoclonium sp. (1:1) was added to the basal diet at 0% served as controls, 2.5%, 5.0% & 7.5% and fed to Fancy carp for 12 weeks. The results showed that added algae to the diets had no effect on fish growth which mean daily growth rate ranged from 17 to 22 g/week. Feed conversion ratio of feeding diet containing 2.5 -7.5% mixed green algae powder was not significantly different from the control. Protein content in Fancy carp fed with diets containing 2.5 -7.5% mixed green algae powder (21.45 - 24.84% wet wt.) was significantly higher than the controls (15.53%). Carotenoid contents in the flesh of Fancy carp fed supplemented diets with mixed green algae powder were significantly higher than the controls. The flesh of Fancy carp fed diet supplemented with 7.5% mixed green algae powder contained the highest carotenoid 17.32±0.41 μg/g fresh weight. The carotenoid contents of Fancy carp flesh were significantly increased when the level of mixed green algae in the diets increased.                               Keywords : green algae, fancy carp, fish diet, protein, carotenoid
