Abstract
Substitution of fishmeal with plant protein is trending but there had been no study ofits effects on catfish gut microbial communities. We made Five isonitrogenous(44.29±0.45%) and isoenergetic (2747.24±0.09 kcal) diets labelled as feed 1 (F1) tofeed 5 (F5). The feeds varied in composition of fishmeal (FM) with bambaranut meal(BNM), as: F1, 65:0, F2, 45:5, F3, 25:25, F4, 5:45, and F5, 0:65. There was a control dietF6. The diets were fed to Clarias gariepinus distributed into three replicate aquaria at15 fish per aquarium. Feed 4 (F4) had the best specific growth rate (SGR, 7.03±0.03%day-1), which was better than F3, with SGR, 6.77±0.08% day-1 and 65% fishmeal dietF1, with SGR 6.67±0.06% day-1(P
