Optimum Dietary Level of Chlorella Powder as a Feed Additive for Growth Performance of Juvenile Olive Flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus

ABSTRACT The present study was conducted toestimate the optimum dietary supplementation level of Chlorella powder as a feed additive to optimize growth of juvenile olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus. Four experimental diets supplemented with Chlorella powder (CHP) at 0, 1, 2 and 4% (CHP0, CHP1, CHP2, and CHP4, respectively) of diet as a dry-matter (DM) basis were prepared. Three replicate groups of fish averaging 1.1±0.02 g were fed one of the four experimental diets for 12 weeks. After the feeding trial, fish fed the CHP2 diet had a higher (P 0.05). Fish fed CHP2 had a higher (P 0.05) among fish fed CHP0 (123%), CHP1 (125%), and CHP4 (125%) as among fish fed CHP1 (125%), CHP2 (134%), a...
