Data on Growth, Survivability, Water quality and Hemato-biochemical Indices of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Fry Fed with Selected Marine Microalgae

Abstract Data of this article describes growth, survival rate, water quality and hemato-biochemical indices of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fry. To collect the data, the Nile Tilapia fry was reared in 30 L glass aquarium (18 fish/ tank) for 56-days under controlled environmental condition. Feed was prepared with 25 % and 50 % replacement of commercial fish meal with Nannochloropsis sp. and Tetraselmis sp. microalgae, while no replacement was made for control feed. Initial and final body weight of fish was recorded to find the data of growth rate; survival rate was calculated from the initial and final live individuals recorded during the experiment; physico-chemical parameters were analyzed to collect water quality data; hemato-biochemical indices were collected using hematology analyzer and photometry. The data on growth, survival rate and hemato-biochemical indices were statistically significant (p
