  A 12-week feeding study was carried out to establish the effect of partial or total substitution of fish oil by plant oil in experimental fed diets in crayfish juveniles (Procambarus llamasi). Three isonitrogenous (30% crude protein) and isoenergetic (15.1 kJ/g) practical diets were formulated with 100% fish oil (FO), 100% plant oil (PO), and 50% FO-50% PO. The crayfish were raised on plastic tanks without water exchange, constant aeration, PVC shelters, with an average water temperature of 26 ± 1°C. Uneaten food and fecal residues were siphoned out from the tank bottom each morning. Crayfish total body weight (BW) and total length (TL) was measured every two weeks. Results showed that the use of plant oil did not significantly modified (p>0.05) growth performance, survival or maturity of experimental organisms. All diets were offered to apparent satiation twice a day. F.. View More»
