Abstract
The effects of dietary supplementation of two different macroalgae Ulva lactuca and Jania rubens on the growth performance, survival and feed conversion ratio of juvenile red swamp crayfish juvenile (Procambarus clarkii) were investigated. Red swamp crayfish with an average total length of 56.2±6.67 mm and an average weight of 3.77±0.2 g were placed at tanks (10 crayfish at each tank) and offered diets 8 weeks. Different levels of macroalgae were added to commercial sea bass feed, and no seaweed was used as a control group. It was observed that crayfish fed with 10% feed had higher growth performance (in terms of length and weight) than those fed with 15% diet and control group (P
