Keywords: Nile tilapia; Fish meal; Soybean meal; Growth performance; Floating net cages EN Nile tilapia Fish meal Soybean meal Growth performance Floating net cages INTRODUCTION Tilapias are the second most popular cultured fishes in the world after carps (Zhou et al., 2015) China, Egypt, Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand are the major producing countries (FAO, 2009). The best FCR value (2.21 ± 0.12) was observed in the diet T1 without soybean meal inclusion followed by T2, 25% soybean meal (2.34 ± 0.3) and T3, 50% soybean meal (2.55 ± 0.3). The growth performance of Nile tilapia fed on control (fishmeal diet) and different levels of fishmeal replacement by soybean meal. Weight gain (g) of Nile Tilapia offered four test diets, where fishmeal were replaced with soybean meal (SBM) (T1, 0%, T2, 25%, T3, 50%, T4, 75%) during the experimental period.
