RESUMO

This study was investigated to assess the effects of different traditional and commercial aqua feed on proximate composition, growth performance and survival rate of Labeo rohita reared in the composite semi-intensive culture system. The aqua feeds of various companies (AMG, Supreme, Aqua, Star Floating, Hi-Pro and Punjab feed) used as commercial feed. Farm made feeds were maize gluten and rice polish. For confidentiality, these feeds were randomly given code labels T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7 and T8 which were only known to investigating staffs. There were two replicates for each treatment. In this experiment, higher growth rate was observed in T3 as compared to other treatments. Lesser weight gain was observed in the T1 ( 270.30 ± 0.5 ). The maximum body length ( 19.25 ± 2.19) was found in T3. Similarly, the minimum body length (5.97 ± 2.94) was seen in T2. FCR ratio (2.36 ± 0.01 ) was recorded in T3. Simultaneously, FCR (1.86 ± 0.002 ) was also recorded in T4 that is the perfect ratio for farmers. Higher SGR was noted in T3 (1.62 ± 0.05 ). Overall, T4 showed lesser SGR (1.05 ± 0.001 ). T4 showed the higher crude protein ( 28.66 ± 0.24 % ). In the body composition higher level of fat content was recorded in T3 ( 5.46 ± 0.33 %). These outcomes also proved that the rise in the dietary protein level and lipid content can improve the fish's body crude fats and protein level. Thus, based on growth performance, survival and proximate composition. It is concluded that T3 and T4 may be recommended for commercial culture of L. rohita.

O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar os efeitos de diferentes rações aquáticas tradicionais e comerciais na composição centesimal, o desempenho de crescimento e a taxa de sobrevivência de Labeo rohita criado em sistema de cultivo semi-intensivo composto. Foram utilizadas diversas marcas de ração aquática comercial, das seguintes empresas: AMG, Supreme, Aqua, Star Floating, Hi-Pro e Punjab feed,. As rações, à base de glúten de milho e polimento de arroz, foram produzidas na fazenda. Para fins de confidencialidade, esses feeds receberam aleatoriamente os rótulos de código T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7 e T8, que eram conhecidos apenas pelos funcionários da investigação. Houve duas repetições para cada tratamento. Neste experimento, maior taxa de crescimento foi observada em T3 em comparação com outros tratamentos. O menor ganho de peso foi observado no T1 ( 270,30 ± 0,5 ). O comprimento máximo do corpo ( 19,25 ± 2,19) foi encontrado no T3. Da mesma forma, o comprimento mínimo do corpo (5,97 ± 2, 94) foi observado em T2. A razão FCR (2,36 ± 0,01) foi registrada em T3. Simultaneamente, a TCA (1,86 ± 0,002 ) também foi registrada em T4 que é a razão perfeita para os agricultores. Maior SGR foi notado em T3 (1,6 2 ± 0,05 ). De maneira geral, T4 mostrou SGR menor (1,05 ± 0,001 ). T4 mostrou a proteína bruta mais alta (28,66 ± 0,24% ). Na composição corporal, o maior teor de gordura foi registrado no T3 ( 5,46 ± 0,33 %). Esses resultados também mostraram que o aumento do teor de proteína e lipídio na dieta pode melhorar a gordura corporal bruta e o nível de proteína. Assim, com base no desempenho de crescimento, sobrevivência e composição aproximada, conclui-se que T3 e T4 podem ser recomendados para cultivo comercial de Labeo rohita.

RESUMO

Aquatic macroinvertebrates are integral parts of functioning wetlands, inhabiting a diversity of aquatic ecosystems where communities are spatially structured. Macroinvertebrates of some Mediterranean regions such as North Africa are still not well studied. Here, we study the community structure of benthic macroinvertebrates in four different types of lotic and lentic wetlands in the semiarid Haut Plateaux of Northeast Algeria. Macroinvertebrates and 06 physicochemical parameters were sampled in 12 sites belonging to four types of habitats (lotic river, lentic river, dams, and sebkha [saline lentic water body]) during January-December 2021. Eventually, the character lentic-lotic was the most important variable affecting the affecting invertebrate communities in the Mediterranean region. The results revealed that sebkha and dams had a lower Shannon index than lentic and lotic rivers. Non-metric multidimensional scaling analysis showed a strong overlap between the community composition in lotic and lentic sites . Howeverin the three types of aquatic groups lentic river, dam and lotic habitats showed a strong overlap between the community whereas sebkha was markedly separated. Redundancy analysis showed that water velocity and pH, were the main drivers of community structure of macroinvertebrates, revealed a strong effect with pH (F1,8=4.15, P = 0.001) and water velocity (F1,8= 3.22, P = 0.002) , separating lotic communities from those that inhabited dams, lentic rivers, and sebkhas. As conclusion, this study contributes to the better understanding of the community structure of macroinvertebrates in semiarid North Africa where wetlands have been experiencing high anthropogenic disturbance.
