ABSTRACT
To study the growth response of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) to the diets containing two protein (30 and 35%) and two lipid levels (12 and 18%) in a closed recirculatory system for 60 days, fish were fed to satiation twice daily. The experiment was carried out in triplicate groups. Fortnightly sampling of fish and water samples was carried out. The best result in terms of growth was obtained with the diet containing 34.62% protein and 12.12% lipid. The protein to lipid ratio was 18.57 in the diet that gave best percentage weight gain. However best survival, food conversion ratio and protein efficiency ratio were recorded in the diet containing 29.86% protein and 18.08% lipid.
