In aquaculture, diets generally represent the largest single cost item of most fish farm operation.The selection of feed ingredients for use in fish diets play a major role in dictating the ultimate nutritional and economic success for farmed fish. Tilapia are normally highly prolific and invasive. They are able to reproduce to a very high density in captivity and easily adapt to a new environment.

In aquaculture, diets generally represent the largest single cost item of most fish farm operation.The selection of feed ingredients for use in fish diets play a major role in dictating the ultimate nutritional and economic success for farmed fish. Tilapia are normally highly prolific and invasive. They are able to reproduce to a very high density in captivity and easily adapt to a new environment. The growth enhancement potential of Mucuna pruriens utilis on the Nile Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.), was investigated in eight weeks feeding trials in concrete tanks at the African Regional Aquaculture Centre, Aluu,Port Harcout.The results of this study indicate that unfermented Mucuna diet can conveniently replace Soya bean based diet without significantly affecting growth of the Nile Tilapia.
