Abstract

The effect of different dietary protein and lipid contents on growth and maturation of juvenile P. seafare was studied for 240 days. The diet containing 40% protein and 4% lipid was optimum for growth of P. seafare. On the other hand the diet containing 45–50% protein with 8% lipid was suitable for maturation.
