Abstract

This study evaluated the effects of restrictive feeding strategies on the profitability of tilapia production in fertilized ponds. Sex-reversed tilapia fingerlings (~60g) were cultured for five months under three feeding strategies; alternate-day full ration (100%), 66.7% and 75% of full ration daily. Fish fed 75% of the full ration daily had the highest final weight (411.3±39.32 g), followed by fish fed 66.7% of the full ration daily (352.0±9.17 g) and the fish fed alternate-day full ration (227.8±22.17 g). Fish that received the alternate-day full ration had the lowest feed intake (223.8±29.77 g fish-1 ) and a better feed conversion ratio (1.30±0.12) compared to the fish fed 66.7% (1.51±0.12) and 75% (1.52±0.09) of full ration daily. Crude protein, dry matter, ash content and the hepatosomatic index of the fish were not affected by the feed restriction. The crude lipid, mesenteric fat and the viscerosomatic indices were significantly (P
