Abstract :

The kutum (Rutilus frissi kutum) of the most economic species of fish which should artificially breed to improves the stock of it. One of the critical points of its culture is finding the best and cheap diet for this species. The aim of this study is to study the comparison between the growth performance and survival rate of fish which fed Eisenia fotidae and concentrate diet. The experiment was designed in a semi intensive system with stable physicochemical parameters. 180 fish with initial average weight 1.75 g and 6.20 cm length were stocked in 12 tanks and fed with different levels of Eisenia foetidae (0.25%, 50% and 75%) during 60 days. The BWI%, SGR, FCR, CF, ADG and survival rate were estimated. The results showed the best growth and nutrition performance and observed in treatments which fed Eisnenia foetidae, all of which fed Eisena foetidae, but with increasing the percentage of Eisena foetidae, all of the parameters were decreased. In conclusion, usage of Eisena foetidae had not benefited the effects on growth performance of kutum and this ingredient should be used in lower levels in diet of kutum juveniles.
