Libro

Aquatic weeds, often regarded as an environmental nuisance, represent an underutilized and sustainable resource for aquaculture nutrition. This book explores the potential of incorporating aquatic weed-based ingredients into the diets of Labeo rohita (rohu) fingerlings and evaluates their effects on biochemical composition and digestive enzyme activity. Drawing upon experimental research, the book examines changes in key biochemical parameters, including protein, lipid, carbohydrate, and moisture content, alongside the activities of essential digestive enzymes such as protease, amylase, and lipase. The findings provide valuable insights into nutrient utilization, digestive physiology, and the role of aquatic weeds as functional feed ingredients for enhancing fish health and growth. Designed for researchers, aquaculture professionals, postgraduate students, and feed industry specialists, this book contributes to the growing field of sustainable aquaculture by demonstrating how locally available aquatic weeds can be transformed into eco-friendly, cost-effective feed resources. It serves as a valuable reference for advancing innovative feeding strategies that support both environmental sustainability and improved aquaculture productivity.
