Abstract

The effect of oil enriched diets to increase omega-3 fatty acids in the flesh of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) by biofloc technology (BFT) system cultivation was investigated. Six feed diets containing 30% protein were added with different types of oil; control diet added with soybean oil, feed diet added with fish oil (FO), feed diet added with fish oil and soybean oil 1:1 (FO:SO), feed diet added with lard oil (LO), feed diet added with lard oil and soybean oil 1:1 (LO:SO) and feed diet added with fish oil and lard oil 1:1 (FO:LO). Each treatment was done in triplicate. Nile tilapia (initial weight 30±1.20 g) larvae were cultured in glass tanks and reared for 8 weeks. Tilapia fed with FO diet showed highest growth and weight gain (62.7±0.18 g) (p>0.05). However, there were no differences in the survival rate (95-97%) and feed conversion ratio in every treatment (1.4-1.5) (p>0.05). The fatty acids profile of flesh fed with 6 oil supplemented diets was studied. Fatty acid composition of FO was highest in total omega-3 (21.49%), followed by LO:SO (11.28%). FO treatment had the highest total omega-6 (52.78%), followed by control treatment (46.94%). This study demonstrated the efficacy of omega-3 fatty acids supplementation of fish fed in biofloc system that could be meet commercially valuable in the future.
