Abstract: Crystal, Mericar P.; Cubillo, Redentor Jr. R.; Gatdula, Noemi O.; Monastrial, John Aries O.. Applied Research IV (General Science Curriculum) Cavite State University, College of Education Laboratory School Indang, Cavite, March 2000. “GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF JAPANESE CARP (CYPRINUS, CARPIO) AS AFFECTED BY DIFFERENT FEEDS” Advisers: Prof. Josefino A. Viado. Prof. Elma A. Alcantara The study was conducted to determine alternative feeds and to find its effect on the growth of the carps. A total of 60 small Japanese carps were used in the study. Fish were equally and randomly distributed into three (3) treatments having four replications. Fish in Treatment 0 were fed with floating pellets, fish in Treatment 1 were fed with dried shrimps and fish in Treatment 2 were fed with dried snail. Initial weight, total weight, average weight, total weight gain, average weight gain, total feed consumption, average feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency, and mortality rate of fish were data gathered every month. These data were then analyzed using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and tested using the F-test. The initial weights of fish are equal with .0S grams. Highest total and average body weight were observed in Treatment 1 for the first two (2) months while Treatment 0 shows the highest total and average weight during the last two (2) months. Results of the analysis of variance however revealed no significant difference in the monthly weight of fish according to types of feeds used. Highest monthly total and average weight gain was observed in Treatment 1 during the first month while there is no significant difference recorded in the month of September. Treatment 0 showed the highest weight gain in October while treatment 1 in November. However, F-test showed no significant differences in monthly weight gain. Feed consumption was highest in treatment 2 within four (4) months and lowest in treatment 1 in terms of the mass weight of the feeds. Feeds are initially measured by teaspoon and later on converted into grams with the following ratio (TO 5 gm. per tsp., T1 3 gm. pe tsp., and T2 6 gm. per tsp.,). The F-test showed significant differences in the amount of feeds consumed according to types of feeds in terms of mass weight. Feed conversion efficiency was computed by dividing the total weight of fish by the total feed consumed. Results showed that feed conversion ratio was highest in treatment 1 for all the months. Results of the F-test however revealed no significant differences.

The study was conducted to determine alternative feeds and to find its effect on the growth of the carps. A total of 60 small Japanese carps were used in the study. Fish were equally and randomly distributed into three (3) treatments having four replications. Fish in Treatment 0 were fed with floating pellets, fish in Treatment 1 were fed with dried shrimps and fish in Treatment 2 were fed with dried snail.

Initial weight, total weight, average weight, total weight gain, average weight gain, total feed consumption, average feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency, and mortality rate of fish were data gathered every month. These data were then analyzed using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and tested using the F-test.

The initial weights of fish are equal with .0S grams. Highest total and average body weight were observed in Treatment 1 for the first two (2) months while Treatment 0 shows the highest total and average weight during the last two (2) months. Results of the analysis of variance however revealed no significant difference in the monthly weight of fish according to types of feeds used. Highest monthly total and average weight gain was observed in Treatment 1 during the first month while there is no significant difference recorded in the month of September. Treatment 0 showed the highest weight gain in October while treatment 1 in November. However, F-test showed no significant differences in monthly weight gain.

Feed consumption was highest in treatment 2 within four (4) months and lowest in treatment 1 in terms of the mass weight of the feeds. Feeds are initially measured by
teaspoon and later on converted into grams with the following ratio (TO 5 gm. per tsp., T1 3 gm. pe tsp., and T2 6 gm. per tsp.,). The F-test showed significant differences in the amount of feeds consumed according to types of feeds in terms of mass weight.

Feed conversion efficiency was computed by dividing the total weight of fish by the total feed consumed. Results showed that feed conversion ratio was highest in treatment 1 for all the months. Results of the F-test however revealed no significant differences.
