Utilization of Shochu Distillery By-products for Culturing the Common Carp Cyprinus carpio L.

Jeffrie Fredrik Mokolensang, Shigehisa Yamasaki and Yoshio Onoue

ABSTRACT

Shochu distillery by-product (SDBP) was applied for culturing the common carp Cyprinus carpio L. Four experimental diets were formulated by mixing commercial fish feed and wheat flour with SDBP (I) and supplementing it either with vitamins (II), fish oil (III), or both (IV). A control diet contained only commercial fish feed and wheat flour. These diets were fed to the fish twice daily for 40 days to estimate weight gain (WG), feed intake (FI), food conversion ratio (FCR) and specific growth rate (SGR). All fish gained weight increments after the feeding experiment, but with no significant difference in FI among the diets except for diet III. Fish fed with diet III had low FCR and SGR, i.e., their growth retardation. However, SDBP might be used as a supplement for fish feed to foster the growth of fish.
