| Abstract | This study was conducted to determine the potential of a prototype feeding stimulant (FS) comprised of amino acidsand nucleotides to improve the weaning of Oxyeleotris marmoratus. Two diets (control and FS) were formulated and fed to 2groups of fish for 14 days. Six fish were in each group. Each fish was in one aquarium and each fish was a replicate. The bodylengths were 7.7-9.3 cm. Each fish was given 5-pellet feedings at 17:00 daily and the ingested feedings were recorded the nextday at 12:00. Fish fed the FS diet started ingestion on the1st day and attained a higher ingestion ratio of 0.5 and 50% weresuccessfully weaned. However, on the 8th day, fish fed the control diet had an ingestion ratio of 0.17 and 16.7% were successfullyweaned. In conclusion, the FS efficiently promoted feed intake and it can be used to improve the weaning of O. marmoratus. |
