Abstract:

The present study deals with the effect of different concentration of Syringodium isoetifolium in the experimental diets were formulated by replaced fishmeal at 10%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% were prepared in pellet form and fed to the fish, Poicilia reticulate to evaluate changes in the growth and food conversion ratio. There is no previous works available on the use of Sea grass as dietary protein source for fishes.
