Dietary Protein Requirements of Zebrafish (Dania rerio)

Abstract

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) with an initial weight of 88.61±0.82 mg were fed eight isoenergetic diets containing dietary protein levels ranging from 20 to 55 % by 5 % increments. Each diet was feed in triplicate of fish for 6 weeks. Specific growth rates (SGR) at week 2 and 4 were quadratically affected by the treatments but this trend disappeared at the end of the experiment. Dietary protein levels linearly reduced the values of daily feed intake, feed conversion ratio and protein efficiency rate. The whole body dry matter, ash and lipid concentrations linearly decreased with dietary protein levels whereas whole body protein was quadratically affected. The second order polynomial and two break point linear models (TBPLM) were used to estimate dietary protein requirements. The later model generated lower residual sum of squares when SGRWeek4 and SGRFinal valueswere used as a response. Minimum dietary protein requirements for SGRWeek4 and SGRFinal were estimated by the TBPLM as 27.69 and 28.93 % respectively. Briefly, results of the study suggest a minimum dietary protein requirement of zebrafish is about 29 % for maximum growth rate.
