Effects of pure and crude papain on the utilization and digestibility of diets containing hydrolysed feather meal by Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.)
(KENYA MARINE AND FISHERIES RESEARCH INSTITUTE, 2014)
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of pure and crude papain on the digestibility and utilization of diets containing hydrolysed feather meal (HFM) by Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) under indoor and ...
The occurrence of the brine shrimp, Artemia franciscana (Kellog 1906) in Kenya and the potential economic impacts among Kenyan coastal communities
(Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute, Kegati Aquaculture Research Station, 2014)
The occurrence of Artemia populations in Kenyan coast is a noble happening. However, much information is
lacking concerning its exploitation for Larviculture. This paper reviews inoculation of Artemia in the
Kenyan coast ...
Growth Response, Survival and Profitability of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Fed at Different Feeding Frequencies in Fertilized Earthen Ponds
(Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute, National Aquaculture Research Development and Training Center,, 2014)
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings were reared in earthen ponds at three different feeding frequencies; twice
daily, twice after 1 day, and twice after 2 days for a period of 7 months. Three hundred and ...
The potential of periphyton based aquaculture for nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) production. a review
(Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute, 2014)
The rapid growth in aquaculture has triggered new technological advancement such as periphyton based aquaculture. Periphyton is comprised of groups of algae, filamentous bacteria etc. This technology works on the basis of ...

management ...
An Appraisal of the Feasibility of Tilapia Production in Ponds Using Biofloc Technology: A review
(KENYA MARINE AND FISHERIES RESEARCH INSTITUTE, 2014-01-01)
The continuous expansion of aquaculture sector has no doubt triggered debate on environmental issues and has accelerated global demand for fishmeal and fish oil in equal measure. In the recent past, scientists have described ...
Complete replacement of fish meal in the diet of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) grow-out with alternative protein sources. A review
(KENYA MARINE AND FISHERIES RESEARCH INSTITUTE, 2014)
Tilapia culture is widely practiced in tropical and subtropical regions with an
annual growth rate of 12% thanks to their high growth rate, disease
resistance, and low trophic feeding levels. The increase of aquacultur ...
