Effets des aliments à base des ingrédients locaux sur la survie et sur la croissance des larves de Clarias gariepinus dans la région de Kisangani, République Démocratique du Congo

The nutritional effect of two diets from local ingredients has been assessed in order to observe the survival and growth of larvae of Clarias gariepinus from artificial insemination. These two diets containing each one 40% of protein from animal (A) and vegetable (B) with 11.61 Kj.g-1 and 12.71 Kj.g-1 of energy respectively for diets A and B were used to feed the larvae during 21 days. The results showed that the food used from local products is acceptable for the growth of larvae from their first age. These two diets (A and B) show that there’s no significant difference. Note that the area where this study has been conducted does not present an obstacle to any farmer anxious to produce larvae of Clarias gariepinus.
