Abstract

Feeding axperiments conducted in the laboratory on the fry of milkfish, Chanos chanos, with purified diets containing graded levels of lipids showed that 6%-lipid level induces the optimum food intake, maximum growth and best utilization of food and protein. Whereas the lipid levels higher than this optimum have led to increased fat deposition in the tissues, the lower levels have caused reduced growth and poor utilization of food and protein. An inverse relationship is observed between the moisture and lipid contents of the experimental fish. The diet containing 6% lipid has provided the fish with 1.09% saturated fatty acids, 1.56% mono-unsaturated acids, and 3.195% of poly-unsaturated fatty acids. The w6/w3 ratio of the diet was 2.43/0.762.
