| Abstract;The effect of dietary caprylic acid on the growth, condition factor and anatomical parameters of the tiger puffer Takifugu rubripes was examined. Tiger puffers, having a mean body weight of 34g, were fed the diet containing caprylic acid(5g/kg basal diet) to apparent satiety twice a day for 45 days. A control group was fed the diet with no caprylic acid adsorbed. The difference in survival between the two groups was not statistically significant. Daily feeding consumption and feed efficiency showed no difference. The difference in body weight, body length, condition factor, hepatosomatic index and hematocrit value was not statistically significant. These results suggest that dietary caprylic acid has no harmful influence on the growth, condition factor and anatomical parameters of the tiger puffer. (author abst.) |
