Abstract
The study evaluated the effect of azolla as supplemental feed on the growth performance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) reared in tanks for 90 days. Nile tilapia were fed with commercial feed (Treatment 1), 15% azolla and 85% commercial feed (Treatment II), 20% azolla and 80% commercial feed (Treatment III) and 30% azolla and 70% commercial feed (Treatment IV). Results of the study showed that Nile tilapia in Treatment I (commercial feeds) and Treatment II (85% commercial and 15% azolla) had significantly higher growth performance than those in Treatments II and IV.
