STUDY ON THE IMPACTS OF GREEN SYNTHESIZED PLEUROTUS OSTREATUS MUSHROOM DIETARY SILVER NANOPARTICLES IN OREOCHROMIS MOSSAMBICUS

Abstract :

Aquaculture is the best growing food production division in the globe. Infection outbreaks are also a most important problem for the aquaculture productions. Different types of technological development are uses to improve healthy aquaculture production and enhance the aquatic environment. Nanotechnology is most significant tool for the development of aquatic productions. The experiments were conducted using feed prepared with supplementation of dietary P. ostreatus mushroom AgNO3 NPs on growth performance and survival rate in Tilapia (O. mossambicus). Fingerlings were stocked at a density of 10 nos/ tank. Experimental diets were formulated with 35% protein level. In this experiment 7 diets were prepared. Basal diet was considered as control. P. ostreatus mushroom AgNO3 NPs were added at the rate of T1 (0.1%); T2 (0.5%); T3 (1%); T4 (5%); T5 (10%); T6 (20%) respectively. The experimental feed was given at the rate of 4% of body weight of the fish twice daily.
