The
effect of incorporating hydrothermally processed watermelon whole seeds in the
diet of fish was inves­tigated on growth, feed utilization and body composi­tion
of carp (Cyprinus carpio)
fingerlings. Fish diets (35% crude protein) were formulated using water melon
hydrothermally processed for 0 (DT1), 10 (DT2), 20(DT3), 30 (DT4) and 40
minutes (DT5) boiling time. Twenty fingerlings (1.50±0.00g each) were randomly
allocated in triplicate to 70 liters plas­tic bowls, for each treatments,
aeration was provided to culture bowls throughout the 12weeks feeding trial.
Result of the study reveals that fish fed DT₄ (30 minutes) had the
best performance in terms of mean weight gain, feed conversion ratio, feed
conversion efficiency, protein efficiency ratio, apparent net pro­tein
utilization and specific growth rate (P>0.05). Hence, hydrothermal
processing of watermelon seeds for 30minutes is recommended for better growth
in C. carpio.
