Effect of probionts on the growth and food utilization of clown fish, amphiprion sebae (bleeker (1853)).

ABSTRACT

To evaluate the efficiency of different probionts (Lacto bacillus and yeast) on clown fish, Amphiprion sebae three different pelleted diets were formulated with 30% protein. Two diets were supplemented with probionts such as 2% Lacto bacillus and 2% yeast without probiont was used as control. The water stability of these diets was studied and the leaching percentage during 6 hrs period was 17.15 to 18.25%. The specific growth rate of control diet fed fish has the lowest value of 3.65 to 4% in probionts supplemented diets fed fishes. The gross production efficiency was also higher in probionts supplemented diet fed groups than control group.
