This study examined the potential of using the freshwater shrimp, Caridina nilotica (CNM), and mung beans, Vigna radiata (VRM), to replace Rastrineobola argentea fishmeal (RAF) as the primary protein source in fish feeds in East Africa. Six diets with varying proportions of RAF, CNM, VRM and full fat soybean meal were tested on Nile tilapia (initial body mass ± SD: 3.30 ± 0.27 g). The growth performance was best in groups fed diets containing either R. argentea or C. nilotica or a combination of the two. Growth was poorest in the fish fed a combination of C. nilotica and V. radiata, and intermediate in the groups fed the commercial formulation and a diet containing a combination of R. argentea and V. radiata. The cost of feed per kg of fish produced decreased with increasing inclusion of C. nilotica. The price of feed per kg fish produced was comparatively high in feeds containing V. radiata due to poor feed conversion ratio. Of all the diets tested, the price of feed per kg of fish produced was highest in the commercial formulation. Caridina nilotica is a good candidate to substitute R. argentea fishmeal in practical diets for Nile tilapia.  相似文献   

DNA fingerprinting of Populus trichocarpa clones using RAPD markers   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5

Nine trees from a single, natural population of black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa Torr. et Gray) in Alaska were screened for randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers with ten different 10-base random oligonucleotide primers in order to evaluate the use of RAPD analysis for distinguishing black cottonwood clones. Nine primers amplified the genomic DNA targets; two primers were able to differentiate all clones. Eight clones were distinguished among the nine tree samples assayed. Two trees showed identical banding patterns with all primers used; therefore it is suggested that these trees are from the same clone. The RAPD fingerprinting method is simple and powerful-one primer can distinguish different clones, while the use of multiple primers reduces fingerprint similarity and resolves discrepancies.  相似文献
