Falayi, B.A. | Sadiku, S.O.E.
Honey comb was involved as floating additive in fish diets at 0, 4 and 8% levels in 30% crude protein Clarias gariepinus juveniles of mean weight 30.30~c0.05g for 56 days in aquaria each measuring 60 x 30 x 30cm. Within six weeks all stages of grain weevils Oritzaphillus mecartus were associated with the honey comb diets, while those with honey comb remained as kept. Feed and fish values were better in honey comb diets. The growth, food utilization indices; feed and fish values were significantly (P<O.05) higher in honey comb diets. Bee keeping for income and honey comb usage in fish diets were suggested to fish farmers.
