Abstract:

Two trial experiments were conducted to assess the performance of a commercial dry feed D in
combination with de-capsulated Artemia (AD), Moina (FD) and dry feed alone on African catfish larvae
Clarias gariepinus for 14 days. The trials were conducted sequentially, separated by two months at the
same facility to validate the consistence of the weaning effect of the feed on the growth of catfish larvae.
Results showed that the final larval mean total length TL (cm) of larvae weaned using a feed combination
