Bu çalışma, yem renginin, Mozambik tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) larvalarının büyüme
performansı üzerindeki etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Denemede yumurtadan yeni çıkmış (0,01 g)
larvalar 3 litrelik cam akvaryumlara 10 adet balık yoğunluğunda olacak şekilde stoklanmıştır. Deneme boyunca
balıklar, 4 farklı renkte (açık kahverengi-kontrol, kırmızı, koyu yeşil ve sarı) deneme yemleri (%37 HP ve %9
HY) ile 60 gün boyunca beslenmişlerdir. Deneme sonunda, en iyi büyüme performansı ve yaşama oranı sarı
renkli yem ile beslenen grupta tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, sarı renkli yem, Mozambik tilapiası larvalarında
daha iyi büyüme ve yem alımını ortaya koymuştur.
