Özet
The effect of feeding frequency on the growth performance, feed conversion ratio and survival of Himri Barbel, Barbus luteus, was investigated. Thirty fry (0.26±0.03 g) were stocked in 12 (80-L) (80×40×40 cm) aquaria and fed 3, 4, 5 and 6 times a day respectively for 60 days. Final body weights and SGR were measured significantly lower at D (6 times/day) and C (5 times/day) than B (4 times/day) and A (3 times/day) treatments (p<0.05). There were no significant differences for the FCR and survival rates (p>0.05). The results showed that weight gain and growth performance of Himri Barbel, B. luteus, fry were decreased with increased feeding frequency. © Asian Network for Scientific Information, 2008.
