Effects of dietary nucleotides levels on whole body composition of orange spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides)

Authors

Abstract

This research was carried out for 10 successive weeks (2 weeks for adaptation and 8
weeks for culture) in summer 2008 at Abzisytan Shrimp Hatchery Center in Bushehr
province. The effects of dietary nucleotides at 5 levels including 0.0% (control), 0.15%,
0.25%, 0.35% and 0.5% on the growth performance and whole-body composition of
Epinephelus coioides was investigated. Juvenile fish specimens with average weight of
10.70±0.29g were fed by experimental diets for 8 weeks. The trial was carried out in 300 liter
fiberglass tanks. The highest protein content was observed in 0.15% diet nucleotide and the
highest fat in 0.15% and 0.25% diet nucleotide which showed significant difference with the
control group (P
