This study was conducted to determine the effects of egg custard, mixed diet (egg
custard and pellet) and pellet (control) on the growth and survival rate of juvenile of
Clarias gariepinus. The study was conducted for 30 days. Each treatment were done
in three replicates with 30 juveniles in each aquarium. Based on the result, juveniles
which fed on pellet gave the highest mean wet weight and mean total length (3.54 ±
0.3087 a ), (7.91 ± 0.0833 a ) followed by mixed diet (3.26 ± 0.1894 a ), (7.25 ± 0.3838 a )
and egg custard (2.55 ± 0.3498 b ), (6.610 ± 0.3402 b ). From the result showed, the
growth of juvenile which gave these three diets showed significant difference
(p0.05). This study showed that pellet and
mixed diet are suitable for Clarias gariepinus juvenile for purpose of enhancing faster
growth performance and survival.
